AGED PRIZE MONEY MEETINGS – JULY & 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.
