Today’s greyhound race meeting at Cranbourne has been abandoned.

Upon inspection of the track this morning, GRIU Stewards considered the track surface to be inconsistent by normal standards which raised welfare concerns.

However, the issue is believed to be temporary.

In accordance with GRV Rule 57(1), the prize money allocated to the Event shall be distributed evenly among the relevant connections of the greyhounds eligible to compete at the time of the abandonment.

GRV apologises for any inconvenience caused.
