Dapto Greyhounds @DaptoG

“I just love this place so much... I’m going to miss it” 💕 A week ago, we said farewell to @DaptoG. The Rowes & Taw Major etched their names into greyhound racing history by winning the last ever race. Here’s what Andrew Rowe had to say after that unforgettable moment. #thedogs

It was the farewell Dapto deserved 🙏 @DaptoG @Thedogs_com_au

From the roar of the final Megastar, to the last race ever run.... then, with a click, it's lights out, closing the book on nearly 90 years of greyhound racing at @DaptoG. From the cheers of the crowd to the hush of the night, this is how Dapto said goodbye. One last race, one last moment, one last flick of the switch... Moments that will live on in memory - long after the last call fades. 💕 #thedogs @ladbrokescomau

Tonight, as we bid farewell to @DaptoG, remember this: saying goodbye is never forever when the memories stay in your heart. For everyone who has witnessed or experienced greyhound racing at the iconic Dapto Greyhounds track, those memories will always live on. One last night. One last race meeting. One final Megastar - and one final memory for us all. 💕 #thedogs @ladbrokescomau

“I’m looking forward to the night and calling a race although I haven’t called for a long, long time.” Many leading racecallers past and present have spent time behind the binoculars atop the @DaptoG grandstand. Sydney’s current number 1 thoroughbred and harness racing callers @hkdarren and @HastingsFred both called the dogs at Dapto, as did the likes of leading greyhound callers Peter Johnson, @TimNewbold, @Mjackson_racing, @MarlowLuke, Kel O’Rourke, Phil Roberts, @texy71, and current number one NSW greyhound caller @VeitchRussell. All will make a return and call a race on the final night of Dapto, while legendary caller Paul Ambrosoli will also be trackside. 📒 Read More: thedogs.com.au/news/2025-09-0… #thedogs @ladbrokescomau
