Brisbane greyhound racing has long been one of the most dominant form of racing anywhere in the country. The quality of dogs on show is of the highest order and the professionalism show by trainers is world class.
It’s because of this that Brisbane can lay claim to one of the best tracks in the country right in the heart of the city, as well as another just next door in Ipswich.
Albion Park
Albion Park is the single most raced greyhound racing facility anywhere in the country. Events are held every Monday and Thursday night as well as on every Wednesday and Friday afternoon.
In a perfect position in Brisbane’s city precinct and just behind one of its most popular pubs, Albion Park is a genuine icon for Brisbane and its people.
The Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club hosts the biggest events in Queensland with substantial prize pools on offer.

With the best odds and up to date information combined with very handsome deposit bonuses, Luxbet is Australia’s number one bookie for a reason.
Ipswich
While people living in Ipswich will be the first to tell you they are their own city separate from Brisbane, the proximity of the two can’t be ignored.
Less than an hour outside of the capital Ipswich is a solid addition to greyhound racing in South-East Queensland among a community with well more than a hundred thousand people.
The track in the Ipswich Showgrounds has all the required facilities on-site and is rapidly developing the standard of events held in the grounds.
It’s a small tight turning track making it tricky for the inexperienced greyhound.
Inexperienced punters have also been known to be caught out so it’s best to give yourself as much help as possible. At Luxbet you have the best form guides and information, not just the best odds. Register now and claim up to $400 free!
