Found this three-page spread in of all magazines the Post. It features Victorian Hall of Famer and trail blazing female trainer Pat Haas. Pat served on the MGRA Committee in 1980. In October 1971 women could handle greyhounds at the track, with Pat being the first in Victoria to do so. Women could obtain a public greyhounds trainer’s licence (that is train for any owner), and therefore become a professional greyhound trainer – again Pat was the first female in Victoria to do so. Pat also won Metro Trainers Premierships in (1974, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981).
