The Commission's stewards are responsible for overseeing race day activities across greyhound racing in NSW.
The stewards have an important role to ensure that racing is conducted fairly and in accordance with the Greyhound Racing Act 2017 and the Greyhound Racing Rules. Stewards investigate breaches of the racing rules and can apply penalties for non-compliance with specified rules.
Stewards are responsible for maintaining public confidence in greyhound racing operations and ensuring people engaged on race day act with integrity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the welfare of greyhounds and participants, drug testing and regulating race meetings across NSW.
Stewarding processes
Protocol for track inspections and race abandonments
The purpose of the below procedure is to provide clarity to greyhound racing participants and greyhound racing clubs on the steps officiating stewards will take to determine if a track is suitable for racing. It sets out the respective roles of both GRNSW and GWIC officials; the timeframes for certain activities and assessments to occur; and escalation points where significant decisions have to be made in relation to abandonment of race meetings.
