Greyhound of the Year
Prior to 2010 the Greyhound of the Year was determined by points earned throughout the year. In 2009 a rule change was voted on at that year's AGM which allowed for a panel of seven Greyhound racing media and race commentators to select the winner. The rule change was passed and came into force for the following year. The rule (31) states that a majority of the panel must agree on the winner. The first winner under this new system was Little Mother.
