...CENTRAL PARK SALES CANCELLED – DONCASTER MOVED FORWARD.... Greyhound Trader have today announced that their upcoming sale at Central Park on Saturday 22nd May has been cancelled.
A disappointed James Corden said “We received a phone call from Central Park this afternoon (Friday) letting us know they have concerns from their local council regarding Covid restrictions and thus they are cancelling us. Everything was in place on our end for the 22nd May and we were due to publish the catalogue tomorrow. We can only apologise to everyone for this unforeseen circumstance.”
Nathan Corden added “Obviously we are disappointed as we are just a week away and it is not ideal for both the vendors and ourselves. We tried to find an alternative venue for next week but at short notice it was always going to be a challenge. However we have acted swiftly and contacted Doncaster to discuss moving forward our scheduled sale there in June and thus our next sale will be brought forward to Tuesday 1st June (from 10th June) so we will be able to accommodate the vast majority of our 22nd May entries plus new entries. We cannot thank the Watson family enough for their help in accommodating us for the earlier date.” |

ARC REVEAL SIGNIFICANT PRIZE MONEY INCREASES Wednesday September 1 sees the launch of the ARC prize money structure which will see significant rises in prize money across each of the company’s own tracks: Central Park, Newcastle, Nottingham, Perry Barr and Sunderland writes Floyd Amphlett of the Greyhound Star.
While the eye is drawn to the £200 to top heat winners, the significant figure is surely the £50 that will be paid to runners down to A6 company?
By comparison, until now, a Newcastle A6 runner would have been receiving £35.
Indeed, it is the worst paying tracks who will seem to benefit the most. A good example is Perry Barr which has been kept impoverished by GRA for years.
Today’s A7 winner at Perry Barr would have collected £69 and also-rans collecting £33. From tomorrow the – well see for yourself!
For obvious reasons, the company have not announced details of the trainers’ own deals which are again reckoned to be significantly enhanced.
One Newcastle trainer, who declined to be named said: “These deals are a game changer for us.”
