Mark Bird: Hopeful that tightly controlled racing can continue


Greyhound Board to discuss latest Covid challenge..

BY RACING POST STAFF 7:33PM 31 OCT 2020


MARK BIRD, MD at the Greyhound Board, on Saturday night reacted to the new statement about the emergency from Boris Johnson

Bird said: “After an already incredibly tough year and, whilst everyone remains delighted that the Derby reached its final, we are all aware that the government has again been deliberating as to how to respond to the increase in Covid cases.

“As a result of the Prime Minister’s address Saturday evening, an English lockdown will now result in many people having to remain at home for a month commencing next Thursday and we await any official response from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport as to racing continuing.

“The GBGB operational plan for racing at tracks has been extremely effective and applauded since we started back racing in June. Everyone involved with the sport and concerned with the plan has acted incredibly responsibly and adhered to government advice.

“Like other elite sports, and based on our proven track record of responsible racing under Covid restrictions, I firmly believe that we, as a sport and as a workplace, should be allowed to continue under any wider restrictions, whilst again behind closed doors.”

Bird concluded: “We will report back ahead of further conversations with officials at DCMS but in the meantime we ask everyone to remain united and optimistic that we can continue racing whilst being observant to overall public safety.”
