VALE GEORGE SCHOFIELD OAM

George Schofield OAM, an icon of Victorian

greyhound racing, passed away on Monday at age

99.

He was the only surviving ‘Pioneer’ in GRV’s Hall of

Fame, with his contribution to the sport as an owner,

trainer, breeder, rearer, stud master, chiropractor

and administrator dating back more than 70 years.

George would have turned 100 in April next year,

and visited his local race club, The Meadows, just 12

days before his passing.

Hundreds are expected to attend George’s Memorial

Service, to be held at The Meadows, on Tuesday.

Full details and our special tribute to George

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Victorian Greyhound Weekly is now one year old.

Launched on 7 October, 2016 Greyhound Weekly is

Victoria’s only independent greyhound publication.

Founding editor and publisher Roger Clark

has been an independent greyhound journalist since

1973, when the original Victorian Greyhound

Weekly in print was launched.

25 years later when the paper closed down, his

Talking and Breeding column transferred to

National Greyhound Form, appeared for five years

in the Greyhound Recorder, then back to NGF until

it’s closure in 2016.

It then moved to ARG online, until it scaled

down greyhound operations during the infamous

state-wide closure scare in 2017.

This led to the birth of Victorian Greyhound

Weekly online, now starting its’ second year.

Thanks for joining us on our journey.

Victoria’s only independent greyhound publication

THE GARDENS’ MEETINGS TRANSFERRED TO

GOSFORD AND RICHMOND

21/09/2017

GRNSW News

Four meetings scheduled for The Gardens in October

will be transferred to Richmond and Gosford to allow

for the track surface and base at The Gardens to undergo

a complete redevelopment.

Work to be undertaken at The Gardens includes the

reforming of the track base, increase to the depth of the

racing surface, laying of new sand and the creation of

new and safer track cambers.

The work is required due to the extensive legacy issues

of the track surface at The Gardens. It is due to

commence on 9 October.

Funding for the redevelopment will be co-funded by

GRNSW and the Newcastle Greyhound Club.

As a result of the extensive redevelopment, the meetings

scheduled at The Gardens on Friday, 13 October and

the meetings scheduled on Saturday, 14 October and

Saturday, 21 October will be staged at Richmond.

BRED TO WIN Our weekly selection of

greyhounds to follow, based on

their breeding and recent

performances

Totally Tango.

Trained by Graham Whitford at Yarram for the

Whitford Syndicate.

Raced for the first time when third over 515

metres at Sandown (SAP) on 1 October.

Started from box three and finished 6.66

lengths from the winner, Wise Ricciardo (29.91),

who won by almost four lengths.

That was a good effort first up at Sandown, not

too many win there first up and he is sure to improve

with more racing.

CHATTY GARRY

Black dog, April 2015 Bekim Bale x Harper Seven.

Trained by Karen Pitt at Devon Meadows for the Are

These My Pants Syndicate.

Placed at first two race starts, over 520 metres

at Cranbourne, then sixth there and sixth again over

450 metres at Ballarat.

Stepped up in class when third over 515 metres

at Sandown (SAP) on 1 October, from box six when

beaten 10.44 lengths in the race won by High

Tenacity (29.81), who won by nine lengths.

That was a good effort from that box there and

he is certainly on the improve.

ASTON LEBRON

Black dog, November 2015 Fabregas x Aston

Pearson. Raced by Ray Borda and trained at

Hazelwood, by Vicki Wisener.

Well bred youngster, whose dam is by Aston

Galilee x Aston Ainslie and the damline has

produced the classy Aston Frenkel.

Raced for the first time, over 515 metres at Sandown

(SAP) on October 1 and created a good impression.

Started from box four and finished third, beaten

20.21 lengths in the race won by Hasten Slowly, who

ran 29.70 and won by almost nine lengths.

That run showed he has plenty of ability and he

shouldn’t take long to notch up his first race win.

Looking Back Special

A New Era of Greyhound Racing

Sandown 1956

Part 3. - ‘Tin Hare’ Returns Mick Floyd

Greyhound racing changed forever in 1956 when the ‘tin hare’

returned with the opening of the new Sandown Park

greyhound track.

‘Tin hare’ racing, or mechanical lure racing much as we have now,

had made one previous appearance at the White City circuit in

1927. Cars were parked more than a mile from the track as a

crowd of more than 30,000 people forced the organisers to throw

open the gates.

Legislation prohibiting the sport had been drafted but not

enacted before the meeting, but with the bill’s ascension the sport

continued in its traditional formats.

After years of lobbying, proprietary racing (privately

owned and operated) was outlawed in 1955 and non-proprietary

(not for profit) racing behind the tin hare legalised under license

by the new Greyhound Racing Control Board.

The National Coursing Association of Victoria formed the

non-proprietary Sandown Greyhound Racing Club (as it would

come to be known) and promoted one of the two metropolitan

greyhound racing licenses. It had purchased the land from the

Sandown Park Coursing Club greyhound racing in 1955 for

£55,000, and invested a further £25,000 on converting the existing

horseshoe/straight track into a modern circle track and upgrading

amenities.

Over 9000 yards of pack filling, top soil, cinders and

crushed rock was used on the new circuit, with the established

grass coming from the previous track. The track and grounds were

laid out by Arthur W. Purnell, the well regarded architect who also

designed the MCG’s Olympic Stand and conversion of the MCG

ahead of the 1956 Olympic Games.

The design for the new track was based on White City in

London and Newcastle in New South Wales. The result was a

spacious, 460yard grass track with racing distances of 555 yards

and 785 yards (or 420m, 507m and 717m).

Two new grandstands and a sloped asphalt area gave

patrons a clear view of the entire track while providing the latest

amenities. Patrons were also able to view the greyhounds get

weighed and vetted in the kennels through a glass front, and as one

media outlet reported at the time, ‘at no stage will competing

greyhounds have contact with the public generally, eliminating

any opportunities for malpractice.’

The kennels, already regarded as being of the highest

standard, were further improved with sound-proofing and cooling

devices. And all buildings had fluorescent illumination!

Two cameras ensured provided a back up for the judges,

who when calling for a photo, were able to have the image

projected on a slide within 45 seconds, a remarkable feat for the

day. The lure was driven from a dedicated tower on the back

straight.

One of the oddities of the track was a large clock above the

scratching board. It origins are unclear, but its year of manufacture

was 1876.

Transport to the track was by train on the Dandenong line

to Springvale Station (despite being expected to open within

‘about three years’ of the track opening, Sandown Park station did

not open to the public until 1965). A special train departed

platform 6 at Flinders Street station at 6.45pm, returning at

11.05pm. Parlour coaches (from Batman Avenue) and taxis (from

Flinders Street) were also available.

For those who took private transport, two public car parks and a

third for owners and trainers provided space for 1200 vehicles.

Turnstiles were located at the eastern and western entrances. A

third entrance was planned for the far turn, and another opposite

the new Sandown Park station once built.

The opening meeting at Sandown Park was also the first to

offer totalizator betting. The Bell Punch Totalizator offered

punters straight out, place and quinella betting, the later would

prove to be extremely popular. In addition, 53 bookmakers offered

straight out, place and concession betting.

The sky blue, red, primrose and pea green colour scheme

with silvered roofs and fencing posts gave the course a vibrant

appearance.

The track’s gala opening was set down for Saturday 8

September, and after 29 years, greyhound racing was finally ready

for the return of the tin hare.

Paw note – A second proprietary coursing track, Gracedale Park

operated in Springvale from 1938 to 1955. The Springvale Town

Hall now occupies the site.

How’s your memory?

Does anyone remember greyhounds racing up the straight at

Sandown.

Very little is know and I am looking for any information you have,

any memories, for a follow up story in a couple of weeks.

Please send me anything you know about it.

Special Tribute

Vale George Schofield OAM by Greyhound Racing Victoria

George Schofield OAM, an icon of Victorian

greyhound racing, passed on Monday at age 99.

He was the only surviving ‘Pioneer’ in GRV’s Hall of

Fame, with his contribution to the sport as an owner,

trainer, breeder, rearer, stud master, chiropractor and

administrator dating back more than 70 years.

George would have turned 100 in April next

year, and visited his local race club, The Meadows, just

12 days before his passing.

George was a much loved character, and on

behalf of the Victorian greyhound racing community,

GRV sends its deepest condolences to George’s many

friends and family.

OAM in 2009 for services to Greyhound Racing

George Schofield is the only surviving ‘Pioneer’ to be

inducted into Victorian greyhound racing’s Hall of

Fame and, quite remarkably, the 91 year old continues

to contribute to the sport today through his work as a

canine chiropractor. Working from a shed on his

property located 30 minutes north of Melbourne in

Yuroke, Schofield’s talents aren’t limited to the

greyhound industry. People drive for miles to have

George run his healing hands over their injured

domestic pets. “I love to see [injured] dogs get better,

especially little paralysed ones. When I see a dog that

can’t move, and then watch it get up and walk away it

is better than all the money in the world”, George said

recently.

Schofield has been applying his chiropractic skills for

over 50 years. He works six days a week from 10am –

4.40pm, having Tuesdays off to “tidy things up around

the place”, and even these days it is not uncommon to

have to queue in line for up to an hour for his services.

“I’ve checked all different types of animals. It’s

something that comes naturally to me. At first I didn’t

charge people. Then I went from charging nothing to

charging a silver coin, then from a silver coin to one

dollar and then from one dollar to 10 dollars”, he said.

Schofield’s contribution to greyhound racing stems far

wider than his chiropractic brilliance. However, he has

been involved in virtually every aspect of the sport,

including spending a combined total of 56 years as an

administrator, 32 of which were as the Executive of the

Greyhound Owners, Trainers & Breeders Association

[GOTBA]. “Some wild men had greyhounds when I

first got into the sport. I always wanted to get into the

administration side of things for the betterment of

greyhound racing”, said Schofield.

Schofield fought long and hard for the benefit of

Victorian owners, trainers and breeders in an era in

which the industry of today would struggle to

comprehend. Schofield’s son-in-law Dr. John

Stephens, the CEO of Greyhound Racing Victoria,

explained that administering greyhound racing was

particularly tough in George’s era. “The administrators

of yesteryear paved the way for the standards of today.

In the old days there was something like 1500

members of the GOTBA and George was on the

Executive. The GOTBA was like the union for

greyhound racing”, Dr. Stephens said.

“Increases in prize money was not a given, nor were

things like racing vests and kennel blocks that were of

a today’s standard. George fought hard for a lot of

those sorts of things as well as open box draws which

for years were conducted by the race clubs. The

administrators worked extremely hard to put systems in

place that could guarantee the integrity of the sport”,

Dr. Stephens added.

Schofield’s time as a committeeman at the Ballarat

Greyhound Racing Club was also critical as he worked

with the GOTBA to save the club from extinction,

while another interesting chapter in his life came with

his involvement with a greyhound called Shan’s View.

George purchased Shan’s View just prior to the 1960

Australian Cup for the then unheard of price of 2,000

pounds [this was a time when 800 pounds bought you a

house].

- 32 -

VALE GEORGE SCHOFIELD OAM

Shan’s View was an odds on favourite in the Australian

Cup final, but tragically broke down, ending his career.

With four kids aged six and under, it is fair to say that

the injury left George’s wife Marie relatively

unimpressed with her husband’s investment. However,

Schofield then put Shan’s View to stud, and he later

became a champion sire of his day.

During his lifetime George has been an owner, trainer,

breeder, rearer, stud master, chiropractor and

administrator. He was even a bookmaker at the

Sandown, Ballarat and North Melbourne [MGRA]

clubs when he returned from four years of war service

in 1945. Incidentally, Schofield was born in Lavington

NSW in 1918. He left school at age 14 and worked

milking cows for 5 shillings a week and walked

greyhounds for Bert Stewart. “I went to school in

Albury. Mr. Stewart trained greyhounds and his son

Wally was a good friend of mine. We walked Mr.

Stewart’s dogs together”, George recalled.

Being a person that was “always prepared to listen and

ask questions”, Schofield was destined to have a long

career in greyhound racing.

He came to Melbourne in 1936 and worked in a

confectionery shop in Nicholson St Fitzroy but

continued his involvement with the sport, handling

‘Iky’ and ‘Coburg Laddie’ for Charlie Haysom, who

both won at Napier Park. Then, prize money was 5 quid

for owners – and handling greyhounds was for love not

money. George then moved to Newmarket and worked

baking bread and training whippets, which raced in

between greyhound events at White City, with Two

Pounds and 10 Shillings being the winner’s prize. He

worked night shifts in Footscray and Brunswick but

trained dogs for the boss when he “knocked off”.

During his time George has also worked with the

Victorian Police Dog Squad, the Australian Customs

Drug Detector Dog unit, the Office of Corrections Dog

Squad and with Dogs from the Security & Emergency

Services Group. To think that someone who has had

such an impact on the canine world and on greyhound

racing in particular is still actively contributing to the

sport today is as fitting as it is staggering. His entry into

the Victorian Hall of Fame comes along with the 2006

Ken Carr Medal, an award that is considered as

greyhound racing’s equivalent to the Brownlow Medal,

and the Order of Australian Medal he received in 2009.

Footnote:

It was a pleasure to know George Schofield for well

over 50 years. He and his late wife, Marie, were my

early mentors on greyhound breeding and I have much

to thank them for.
