My understanding is Paul Dicks will be appearing on a TV quiz show later this year, subject is ( Australian) Greyhound racing. To help him I invite appropriate questions to help prime Paul.
I will kick off with Question: how many race tracks in Australia? I dont know the answer but its the sort of basic question a TV quiz show may ask Please post questions for Paul, if you dont know answer please state, Im sure someone will know.
Question Which dog or dogs have won both National sprint and distance championship
Paul good luck

Complete guesses and a clear indication I need to study harder.
I'd say there are 66??? active tracks in Australia but that's a complete guess.
Pretty sure Dashing Corsair won the National Sprint and Staying Finals, not sure of any others.

Easy one but slight trick question, who are the Horsham track record holders for each distance? I know the 410m and 485m holders names

I dont know answer but a likely question
Where was the first established greyhound race track in Australia?
What year and where did coursing Officially commence in Australia ?
Both likely questions hope you know answer
Easy question. What dog is known as The Immortal?
Question. Which Australian greyhound broke 19 track records on 13 different tracks ?

Here's an easy one for ya Paul, just to get you warmed up.
What State in Australia took away a "State-of-the-art-racetrack" in 2009, & then promised participants that a new racetrack will be built in return, but still haven't delivered?

Might have to change my speciality subject, I'm really bad at this.
Pretty sure Epping / Harold Park was the first "tin hare" racing site.
Not sure of the first official coursing track.
I'd say Temlee was the immortal but that's a guess.
Chief Havoc set a stack of records just after WW2

Temlee Chief havoc Both correct. Be worth while to find out correct answers for coursing commenced in Australia also what was first race track, I think the quiz show will ask historical questions
A Horsham Question UK import raced at Horsham Vic and was a legendary sire ? in so many Aust pedigrees
