 Strathalbyn Cup On Sky Channel

GRSA is pleased to announce that the 2007 Cyrus The Virus Strathalbyn Cup meeting will now be covered on Sky Channel. This meeting was previously listed as a non-Sky TAB day fixture.  

The heats were moved to Angle Park last weekend to enable Sky cover. However GRSA has negotiated with Sky Channel to enable the Cup Final to be run at the Strathalbyn circuit. It is a great example of the strong relationship that has been built with Sky and the greyhound industry, especially through the recent equine influenza crisis, which has affected the entire racing industry.  

Racing will commence at 12.24pm and feature the Cup, along with the heats of the 416m Harry Hairstone Feature.  

The Cup field in box draw order is:

1.      Lasers Force

2.      Rutland Reason

3.      Polaris Bale

4.      Langdon Bale

5.      Samur Sunset

6.      Romeo Brass

7.      Olly Orca

8.      Santala Bale  

9.      Rumford Reason (res)

10. Torpedo Runner (res)
