The Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) display at last Friday and Saturday’s Mount Gambier Show had been well received by patrons who had displayed a keen interest in how the greyhound re-homing process actually works.

Representing GAP over the two days were Mount Gambier Greyhound Racing Club manager Tim Lewis and long-time GAP worker Elysia Bartholomew who were assisted by Sarah Price, Noel Perry and Tim Manterfield.

“Interest in finding forever homes for retired greyhounds appeared to be strong and hopefully there will now be further follow-up,” said Bartholomew. “Following on from last weekend there will now be GAP assessments for retired greyhounds at Tara Raceway on Wednesday, November 12.”

And one patron taking a keen interest in the GAP display had been the Mount Gambier born former AFL player Gavin Wanganeen, also a member of the AFL Hall Of Fame and a Brownlow Medallist.

Meanwhile, three additional reverse cycle air-conditioning units were installed last week in the Tara Raceway kennel house by local firms Gordon Refrigeration and Klaassens Contractors. The installation was in line with Greyhound Racing SA’s heat policy.
