If you are thinking about getting in to greyhound syndication, you should check out the greyhound ownership guide on the GRV website.
‘Greyhound Racing Victoria will actively manage, promote and develop a vibrant industry to ensure expansion and future wagering growth to maximize opportunities and returns for all participants’.
The purpose of this document is to provide some active information for prospective owners. Most of this information has been gathered from our valued industry members who have experienced the joy of owning a greyhound and the unforgettable thrill of winning.
People have raced greyhounds for about 150 years but realistically it is only over the past few decades that our sport has become accessible to just about anyone. The future of our sport depends upon newcomers like yourself becoming involved. There are many fine trainers in greyhound racing who actively encourage new participation on an individual or syndication basis.
It is a great resource for information on ownership. Once you have had a read, if you are still interested in purchasing a share in a syndicate shoot us through an email.

Geelong’s Beckley Park greyhound racetrack is set to undergo a major redevelopment that will see its facilities rival that of any greyhound racetrack in the world.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Racing, Rob Hulls today announced the $6.2 Million redevelopment, which will include a brand new racetrack and grandstand.
The project will receive 70% funding [$4.3 Million] from the Brumby Labor Government, with the remaining 30% [$1.9 Million] to be funded by Greyhound Racing Victoria [GRV].
John Stephens, the CEO of GRV, said… “Greyhound Racing Victoria is extremely grateful to the Victorian government for its significant financial support. Beckley Park is set to boast a world class multi-purpose venue with brand new facilities for patrons to enjoy the thriving sport of greyhound racing.”
This will see improvements at Geelong as a training track and for fans on race day. There has never been a better time to get involved as a greyhound owner!
