Queensland greyhounds, about to host the National Championships, face a difficult 12 months bedding down new tracks at a time when the shortage of good dogs continues to be a worry throughout the state.
As our editor reported last week, Racing Queensland Ltd has released site plans for the new Deagon project, to the north of Brisbane airport, to house harness and Greyhound Racing by mid 2012. Thoroughbred trainers who are using the area for training will have to move. They are not happy and are getting support from opposition politicians who also want to see Queensland revert to separate authorities for each code.Prior to RUBBER SHEET I leaned toward the former,
The once-favoured Logan site, southwest of Brisbane, where the former QGRA spent a lot of money on plans and consultants, is no more. Neither is the $10 million the government promised QGRA after the closure of the Gold Coast track. That’s gone into what you might call “consolidated revenue”.
Only broad brush plans for Deagon have emerged but the detail that is available shows that greyhound people will see virtually a straight copy of the recently opened Geelong dual track complex. Deagon’s outside one-turn track has three identical distances – 400m, 460m and 680m – while the inside circle track will offer 529m and 605m trips, which is close enough. (All a coincidence,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an oil paintings for sale , and not a metal, apparently).

Sadly, the 605m start sits half way round the turn, making it likely that heavy interference will be the order of the day.Detailed information on the causes of Ceramic tile,
Contour Consulting Engineers, based on the Sunshine Coast, produced the sketches and presumably did the project design. They have previous experience working on galloping tracks but none on greyhounds – indeed, since few such jobs ever come up, how could they?
It brings back memories of the Gosford reconstruction, where a Tamworth engineering firm did a neat-looking design job for the NSW GBOTA but failed to appreciate the nuances of Greyhound Racing and how dogs interact with the track. In that case, originally purported to be a clone of Angle Park (which it isn’t), a nasty 400m bend start appeared on the plans. I saw these long before contracts were issued and wrote to the GBOTA pointing out the need to move the 400m boxes into a kinder position.Do not use cleaners with high risk merchant account , steel wool or thinners. They rejected that suggestion. In practice, dogs got smashed and six months after the opening the boxes were moved out a bit! Unfortunately, they had only 1m to work with on the concrete slab. It made barely any difference and dogs still get smashed today.
t seems that the alternative concept of using a small chute,I have never solved a Rubik's hydraulic hose . slightly off the track proper, is foreign to the greyhound code, although they are in routine use at the gallops to overcome exactly the same problem.
In addition, Gosford’s 515m first turn always has been a difficult one – some dogs get around well, many don’t. However, Gosford has one excellent feature in the contour of the home turn. It’s about the best in the business because the gradients allow faster dogs to overtake on the outside of the leader.
