- Stakes for all races will increase by $155 per race.
- 10 races per meeting only will be scheduled.
- Distance races, when scheduled, will continue to carry stakes of $1,000 above top grade stakes.
- The Starters Bonus of $100 which is to be paid to the first Tasbred greyhound finishing in every race will continue.
- The vaccination assistance of $200 per pup, which is payable on registration of a litter with the Office of Racing Integrity, will continue.
