RICHMOND Race Club is set to host the Phil Davis Memorial Race heats this weekend. On Saturday, the qualifying heats for the $10,000 race will be hosted at the club, with the race set for the following Saturday. Richmond Race Club general manager said the race was named after the deceased Phil Davis, who was a well liked member of the club. ‘‘Phil provided the club with great service and was always only to willing to pass on his help and expertise to greyhound trainers,’’ he said. ‘‘Phil Davis memorial is a time honoured race series recognising the achievements and dedication to the Richmond Race Club and Greyhound industry for over 40 years.’’ Mr Billett said he was expecting a strong field of entries for the memorial race. ‘‘It is one of our main feature races, specifically targeted to up and coming greyhounds,’’ he said.
