Covid-19 coronavirus Delta outbreak: Whanganui greyhound meeting abandoned, with no vet available

Dog racing at Hatrick was abandoned today with no vets available to work under Alert Level 3.

The 15-race Wanganui Greyhound Racing Club's card at Hatrick Raceway tonight has been abandoned because there is no vet available to work on-course under Covid-19 alert level 3.

"Following notification from the Racing Industry Board (RIB) on Tuesday afternoon, GRNZ and the club have pursued all avenues to obtain the services of a vet, but this has come to nothing," GRNZ racing operations and welfare manager Michael Dore said.

"The priority is to now secure a vet for the upcoming Central Districts meetings on Friday night and Monday."
