We have all watched as the sport has deteriorated for the past 30 years.

The Premier League is a self-help initiative by GOBATA which will introduce an innovative structure to greyhound racing that will be successful, self-sustaining, and appealing to a wider audience.

Open race competitions remain one of the biggest draws in greyhound racing but we believe that there is huge unexplored potential in greyhound racing as a team game. Whilst the Trainers Championship meeting remains arguably second only to the Greyhound Derby final in prestige and popularity, smaller kennels will only rarely have an opportunity to compete on this stage.

The Premier League is a simple idea. It will allow an individual trainer/owner, or a group of trainers/owners, to form a team of greyhounds and compete against the best in the country. The team format will give all owners and trainers the opportunity to compete at the highest level.

Once established, with reputations building and rivalries created, we will have a product that will capture the imagination of the public and the betting industry. The Premier League format has already proved successful in darts and snooker, combining both immediacy and a narrative. We are aiming to significantly increase the revenues going back to greyhound owners, breeders, trainers and kennel staff, and across all sections of practitioner involvement.

Investors are being sought from within the greyhound fraternity to be a part of the Premier League launch. To invest in Gobata Premier League Limited click HERE or choose "Buy Shares Now!" from the drop-down menu under Premier League at the top of this page.
