Greyhound Racing NSW’s announced after almost 89 years, the Dapto Greyhound Club will host their final race meeting on September 11, to coincide with the Group 1 Ladbrokes Megastar.
GRNSW’s lease on the venue expires on June 30, 2026, but a decision has been made that the most appropriate time to stage the club’s last race meeting should be on Dapto’s night of night’s – the Ladbrokes Megastar.
“We have had several discussions within, and outside the organisation, as to what would be the most appropriate time to stage our final Dapto race meeting,” GRNSW Chief Executive Officer Steve Griffin explained.
“The overwhelming consensus is that to perfectly honour the venue, the lengthy history of the Dapto Greyhounds, and their prestigious Group 1 feature event, that the night of the Ladbrokes Megastar would be the ideal opportunity to host the last ever meeting.
“There were proposals that we held our final race meeting in February next year on the anniversary of the first greyhound race meeting at the site back in 1937, and another suggestion was that we wait until the end of the lease and stage a major event in June next year.
“Ultimately, we believe that the night of the Megastar will be the perfect time to celebrate Dapto Greyhounds and pull the curtain down on the venue”
