Episode Details

Greyhound trainers in Queensland are grappling with safety issues at the new $90 million track, The Q, despite it being marketed as the safest. Seven dogs have died, and major races have been cancelled due to dangerous conditions. An investigation revealed drainage flaws, uneven sand, and poor moisture control. Trainers like Alan Dargusch, with over twenty years of experience, report ongoing problems. Politicians are trading blame, with Labor calling it neglect and the current government defending fixes. Racing Queensland claims theyve improved safety, but greyhound protection groups dispute this, citing thirty-one deaths since opening, with six this year. As the Winter Greyhound Carnival and the million-dollar Brisbane Cup approach, trainers are advocating for real accountability to ensure the tracks safety.
