Towcester break new ground with their open race prize money and, as well as the £250 win money, the also rans will now receive £75 run money, a total of £625 which will certainly be welcomed by owners and trainers alike.
The track’s Greyhound Operations Manager, Mick Livesy, explained the move: “We are all passionate about greyhound racing and, on the back of an outstanding Star Sports Derby, we have decided to host regular open races.
“We are committed to owners and trainers, the prize-money has been set at £75 run money and £250 win money. We believe this is the highest run-money in the country for regular one-off opens.
“Let’s make a promise, though, to all owners and trainers, that the more successful we become, the more money we will put in to prize-money.
“Trainers and owners are always in our minds when we are making decisions. We look forward to welcoming them to Towcester for the open races and, of course, the real stars of the show, their amazing greyhounds.”
