As arguably Australia’s most important city you would expect Sydney to have a booming greyhound racing industry. There’s no doubt that state wide New South Wales is fantastically equipped as a dominant force.
Metropolitan racing in the harbour city is led by Wentworth Park and the ever impressing Richmond club.
Wentworth Park
The Wentworth Park greyhounds are the sacred home of greyhound racing in New South Wales. The ‘Wenty Dogs’ as they are regularly known entertain patrons every week in a manner that’s lasted years.
The Wentworth Park Sporting Complex hosts events of the utmost calibre and members do everything they can to make sure every patron who walks through the gates has the most pleasant time possible.
With well payed races held in a highly accessible city location the reputation of the area has continued to grow. Aiding this is the fact patrons get to experience more than just the on track racing. Bars and bistros are dotted right around the venue with function options also on offer in an air conditioned 5,000 seat arena.
Meets are held on Friday and Saturday nights, the most sought after timeslot and a real coup by Greyhound Racing New South Wales.
The only thing which would make your time at the Wentworth Park dogs even better would be a big win with your tips. To provide yourself the best possible chance use a bookie that gives you more in return, Luxbet. Guaranteed best odds and up to $400 in sign up bonuses, the choice is obvious.

Richmond
With modest beginnings back in 1955 the Richmond greyhounds have developed themselves into an outstanding venue of entertainment. Today they have facilities of the highest order presented in a manner matching any other club in the country.
At Richmond it’s not just a bar, it’s a hub for throwing chat with your mates and spending a good deal of time in between races.
It’s far more like an inner city bar than a suburban race course.
The facilities extend to a classy sit down restaurant and a range of function centre options.
Just can’t get there? While unfortunately we can’t replicate the surroundings for you at home, we can certainly replicate the betting! In fact we’ll do better than that, join Luxbet now and they’ll give you a $400 free bet, guaranteed to put you in a better place!
