In an attempt to maximise racing opportunities for all levels of greyhounds, a number of ‘Aged Prize Money (APM) meetings’ will be conducted during July and August 2018.

These APM meetings focus only on the actual greyhound’s current APM value, with greyhounds selected to race against greyhounds of a similar value.

Greyhounds that are drawn as a Reserve in a higher level event will also be listed as a runner in the next level event, and if required will be drawn into the higher level race (in a similar fashion to being a reserve in a final and also drawn into another race).

‘Open APM meetings’ also apply a ‘50% rule’ which for greyhounds with three (3) or more wins (ie. Grade 5 or better), the highest APM greyhound will only be drawn if the eighth highest greyhound’s APM value is at least 50% of the top greyhound.

New race grades are applied as follows:
MAPM – For Maidens;
7APM – For Grade 7 (1 win) greyhounds;
6APM – For Grade 6 (2 win) greyhounds;
RWAPM – For any grade of greyhound that has won the number of races required;
APM – For Grade 5 or better greyhounds.
