Wangaratta opens on December 22nd 1973. Very sad day when it closed for not much sound reasoning. Although you will be told different by those that closed it.
Brenda Kinder – shame it closed big lose I feel to the greyhound industry simply track to get to straight up the Hume. I work there for 15 years no thanks from GRV just a closing date. Sad day
Brenda Kinder– Jason Whybrow yes miss going to Wang and racing , it was a great night with the fires burning in the bookie ring . Very sad we lost the track .
