2019 Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg Series Events
APRIL 3-20 - Wentworth Park
Message from LADBROKES
Ladbrokes 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 GBOTA
It 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
