2019 Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg Field Composition Details Heats The composition of the 10 heats of the Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg will be determined by conditions of entry to seek Best 80. Greyhounds will then be ordered by pointscore system to seed the top 25%. No guarding will apply to the 25% that are seeded, balance of the fields will be determined by blind draw and guarded where possible.

Semi-Finals Four semi-finals of the Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg will be drawn and they will comprise the 10 heat winners, 10 heat second placegetters, 10 heat third placegetters and the fastest two fourths in the heats. The field composition of the semi-finals will be determined, firstly, by placings in heats and, secondly, times recorded in registering such placings. The formula used fairly seeds greyhounds into the semi-finals based on a combined consideration of the placings and times recorded by all greyhounds in the heats. No guarding applies in the semi-finals. Semi-final composition is determined solely on the basis of heat performance to a pre-set formula.

Final The final will comprise the four semi-final winners and the four semi-final second placegetters. The fastest two semi-final third placegetters will be first and second reserves in the final.

Message from LADBROKESLadbrokes is once again thrilled to be the naming sponsor of the 2019 Golden Easter Egg Carnival, which continues our association with the NSW Greyhound Breeders, Owners and Trainers Association.

This is the fifth year that we have been involved with the Golden Easter Egg Carnival and we have been privileged to see the race cement itself as one of the most prestigious events on the Australian Greyhound Racing Calendar.

Our partnership with the NSW GBOTA is truly unique and remains an integral part of our partnerships portfolio.

This partnership has already seen an additional $500,000 returned to Greyhound Racing participants, through the Ladbrokes Monthly Medal, and we also worked together closely on the inaugural GRNSW + Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase last year with great success.

Ladbrokes is continually developing innovative wagering promotions for its participants and punters alike and we remain as committed as ever to the New South Wales Greyhound Racing industry.

On behalf of all at Ladbrokes, we wish all 2019 Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg Carnival competitors the very best of luck.

JASON SCOTT Ladbrokes Chief Executive Officer

Message from the NSW GBOTAIt is with great pleasure, as NSW GBOTA Chairman, I present to participants across Australia the 2019 Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg Carnival program.

The Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg is one of the greatest championships within the Australian greyhound racing landscape. Its three week structure continues to ensure that all runners have the fairest opportunity to progress to the final and only the truest of champions are ultimately successful.

Without the ongoing support of Jason Scott and his team at Ladbrokes, both the Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg Carnival and the NSW Greyhound Racing industry would not be able to deliver the returns to participants that it currently does. The Association is again excited to be partnering with Ladbrokes to not only deliver a world class greyhound racing program, but also exciting customer offerings and experiences.

Participants are encouraged to review the Trainers Guide thoroughly and understand all of the methods of qualification for each series. Our Operations Manager, Ellen Harris and Wentworth Park Racing Manager Peter Cole are available to answer questions and assist where they can.

Interstate trainers are also encouraged to ensure their respective GRNSW prizemoney split forms are completed and lodged prior to the series commencing. Again, please speak to our team if you have any questions.

On behalf of the Directors of the NSW GBOTA and supporters of the Carnival, we wish all competitors the very best of luck and safe racing.

JOSEPH COTRONEO Chairman, NSW GBOTA
