About the Hobart Thousand
The Hobart Thousand is Tasmanian greyhound racing's most famous race, a Group 1 over 461 metres at Elwick each December with $100,000 to the winner. It is one of Australian racing's great provincial traditions — but it carries an expiry date, with Tasmanian greyhound racing legislated to phase out by 30 June 2029. Every edition from now until then is part of the race's farewell era.

How to punt the Hobart Thousand
Tasmanian form is highly self-contained — Elwick specialists with course knowledge dominate visitors. With the 2029 phase-out looming, each Hobart Thousand carries extra emotion and extra local focus; the value typically lies with the hardy local campaigners rather than mainland raiders.
