Sydney is the leader in many aspects of Australian culture and the greyhound association is trying to ensure that greyhound racing is no different. With clubs strewn all across New South Wales the country racing is certainly in an enviable position and often talked about. However city based racing in Sydney is also very important with the two main clubs of Richmond and of course Wentworth Park leading the way.
Wentworth Park
The Wentworth Park greyhounds are the spiritual home of greyhound racing in New South Wales. The ‘Wenty Dogs’ as they are often known entertain the crowds every week as they have done for decades.
The Wentworth Park Sporting Complex hosts events of the highest calibre and does everything they can to ensure every patron who walks through the gates has the most enjoyable time possible.
Some of the events to be held at Wentworth Park this year include:
Hotham Body Repairs Association Cup 720m
Golden Easter Egg 520m
Gold Cup 720m
Globe Memorial Easter Chase 720m
Alan Evans Jewellery Workshop Ladies Bracelet 520m
Rapidvite Peter Mosman Classic 520m
Overflo @ Stud Bob Payne Winter Stake 520m
Multiquip Magic Maiden 520m
De Bortoli Wines The Ambrosoli 520m
With well paying events being held in such a highly accessible location the popularity of the precinct has continued to grow Another reason is that the public get to experience much more than just the on track action. Bars and food outlets are dotted right around the venue with corporate options and social events all housed in a 5,000 seat air conditioned grand stand.
Meets are held on Friday and Saturday nights in a move by Greyhound Racing New South Wales to capture the party style atmosphere so many clubs chase after.
Only one thing would make your time at the Wentworth Park dogs even better and that’s a big win on Race One! To give yourself the best possible chance use a bookie that makes things easy for you, Luxbet. With guaranteed best odds and up to $400 in sign up bonuses, the choice is clear.
Richmond
From their humble beginnings back in 1955 the Richmond greyhounds have come along in leaps and bounds. Today’s they offer facilities of the highest order capable of matching any other club in the country.
While sure every club has a bar, at Richmond it’s just better. A stylish futuristic design that just adds that little bit extra to your experience.
In fact Richmond is far more a night club it seems than a race club.
Of course there’s also a fully staffed dine in restaurant and a range of corporate function
Considering the huge amount of effort that’s been put in by the club you’d be crazy not to have a look for yourself if you’re anywhere near Sydney.
Just can’t get there? While unfortunately we can’t replicate the surroundings for you at home, we can certainly replicate the betting! In fact we’ll do better than that, join Luxbet now and they’ll give you a $400 free bet, guaranteed to put you in a better place!
