About The Meadows

The Meadows in Melbourne's north-west is Victoria's premier greyhound venue and one of the fastest circuits in the country. Purpose-built in 2002, its wide, sweeping track regularly produces sizzling times and hosts the Group 1 Melbourne Cup for greyhounds each November.

Unlike the tighter city circuits, The Meadows gives dogs a genuine galloping track where strength through the line matters as much as early speed. Saturday night finals are a staple of the Victorian greyhound calendar, and the venue is renowned for its modern facilities and night-racing atmosphere.
