What is a trial track?

A trial track is a premises (other than a licensed racecourse) where a greyhound can compete in a trial or be trained for racing. A trial track must be owned, managed, leased or occupied by a registered trial track proprietor.

Any premises where greyhounds not owned or leased by the proprietor are trialled must be registered with the Commission in accordance with the Trial Track Policy. More information about the policy can be found here.

Unless otherwise specified by the Commission, a trial track will be registered for three years.

Requirements:

To register a trial track with the Commission, applicants must:

• Be registered as a trial track proprietor
• Have adequate and current public liability insurance for the premises
• Have an agreement with a local veterinarian who is able to provide treatment to greyhounds that are injured at the premise. A veterinary services agreement template can be found here.
• Have the premises inspected by the Commission’s compliance team.
