The
Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) has made amendments to the Rules of Racing as part of a commitment to ‘continue raising welfare and integrity standards’.
As part of its enhanced implementation of the Greyhound Commitment, the GBGB has made two primary amendments to the Rules of Racing – Rule 212 & 213 and Rule 53 & 195.
The first amendment requires all trainers to ‘read, understand and be compliant with the PAS 251’ – the Specification for Trainers’ residential Kennels – developed in cooperation with animal welfare organisations, veterinarians, government and industry specialists.
Meanwhile, Rule 53 & 195 will set new criteria for the disqualification of a greyhound for deliberate interference, removing the requirement for trainer’s or their representative to provide a signed declaration.
