“Macro Meats is one of Australia’s fastest growing businesses and the NSW GBOTA is excited at the opportunity to further build the company’s brand as we showcase what is now the richest event in the southern hemisphere,” explained Scott.
“The absolute cream of Australian Greyhound Racing will be coming to Sydney to compete and the benefits, both on and off the track, will be enormous.”
More than $350,000 in prizemoney will be won during the 2010 Macro Meats Golden Easter Egg series.
