2012 NSW Country Challenge Series Schedule & Dates Announced

Greyhound () has today released the official schedule for the 2012 Country Challenge, announcing a revised calendar to reflect the series' growing popularity.

Now in its sixth year, the GRNSW Country Challenge has become one of the major events on the industry's calendar, with regional and rural trainers to identify a greyhound in their kennel that can compete through the series.

As part of the series' constant evolution, the next edition of the GRNSW Country Challenge will be held in the 2012 calendar year, instead of the previous September-July schedule.

GRNSW Chief Executive said the new dates for the GRNSW Country Challenge would allow for the series to build on its continued success.

“The success of the Country Challenge shows how the sport of greyhound racing is thriving at the grassroots level,” he said.

“This new schedule will allow the stars of the Country Challenge to take centre stage at historic at a time when Spring feature racing is in full swing. It also gives each individual club that hosts a leg of the Country Challenge the opportunity to broaden the appeal of greyhound racing to their local community. Trainers and owners also benefit from greater prizemoney.”

GRNSW's contribution to the first five years of the Country Challenge concept stands at $822,500 with a further $137,500 to be tipped into the forthcoming series.

The 2012 GRNSW Country Challenge will be held at 20 tracks throughout regional and rural NSW with each venue hosting heats and a final.
