Green Light On Podcast | Bendigo Cup by Greyhound Racing Victoria

Today marks the final Grey Areas show in the RSN studio. The Nationals took centre stage on today's show - with the features set to run in Queensland on Saturday night. George's selections at The Meadows and a set of Obscure Outlays to lead us into the NFL season. Goodbye for now, but not forever!

George touched on his time off in Queensland where he visited The Q - tune in for his review. The A team cover the Nationals and George has bit of an opinion of the local straight tracker - Darcy Dakota. More to come on Friday's show! A look at the Sandown Park card on Thursday night.

George is still away so Molly is back behind the mic. Jase and Molly went through the Victorians travel plans and trial times around the Nationals. A review of the racing at Sandown last night as well as a look at what The Meadows card brings us on Saturday. They also spoke to the six figures put on the table for a young greyhound by the name of Electrify. And a surprisingly hot card at Wagga tonight with the return of Vincent Bale.

What is lacking sports chat, Molly made up with a passionate discussion about family and greyhounds. Review of some outstanding performances over the weekend at Sandown and Healesville on Sunday. A few updates on the Victorian’s and their travel plans for the Nationals.

Sir John Henry is back after missing the shows biggest episode! Jason and George tackle a garbage article published on The Guardian which suggests Victoria could be nearly $500 million dollars better off without greyhound racing. In a statement provided to The Guardian which wasn't published in full, GRV's CEO Stuart Laing said "The Victorian economy would be significantly worse off without the greyhound racing industry.” “The supplier network involved in greyhound racing is not just limited to trainers, breeders, kennel attendants and race club staff – it also reaches veterinarians and transport companies, feed merchants, sand and soil suppliers, the construction and IT industries and equipment manufacturers." “Greyhound racing in Victoria sustains more than 4800 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $844.8 million in economic impact to the state’s economy, 41 per cent of which is generated in regional Victoria.” There was also plenty of racing talk during Grey Areas today following the outstanding Victorian qualifiers last night at The Meadows. With more Nationals action to come on Sunday at Healesville up the straight. And more great news from the Healesville with Matt Loch back racing for the first time since he defeated Explicit in the Pink Diamond.
