Effective immediately, to ensure the social distancing requirements are met during the boxing of greyhounds, the starting boxes at all greyhound meetings will be loaded in four separate groups – Boxes 1 & 5, then boxes 3 & 7, then boxes 2 & 6 and followed by boxes 4 & 8.
This will of course mean that some greyhounds will be in the boxes for a longer than in normal circumstances when the greyhounds are boxed in only two groups (odds and then evens).
