Greyhound racing authorities will head to the NSW Supreme Court to try to overturn a move by the land holders to stop dog meetings at the track.

Greyhound authorities will fight the decision to stop racing at the famous Dapto track, taking the case to the NSW Supreme Court.

On Wednesday, Dapto Agricultural and Horticultural Society made the shock announcement racing would cease at the track in the Illawarra immediately.

The Dapto meeting is a fixture of Thursday night greyhound racing.

Greyhound Racing NSW chief executive Tony Mestrov says the governing body will seek orders in the Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon to get access to the track and allow racing to continue.

"Pursuant to Greyhound Racing NSW's powers under the Greyhound Racing Act I am today appointing an administrator at Dapto to run the operation," Mestrov said.

"GRNSW has appointed Grant Carroll, a former chief steward of GRNSW, to take the role as administrator. His appointment and authority is effective immediately.

"The message from GRNSW is, simply, that if the Dapto club does not have the ability to run greyhound racing at this venue - then we will.

GRNSW was caught unaware by the sudden decision to stop racing at Dapto with the DAHS saying the venue would be used for other community projects after negotiations over funding broke down.

"It's an unlawful decision and against their own constitution, and we will be doing everything in our powers to continue racing at Dapto on Thursday nights, including taking this to the Supreme Court," Mestrov said.

"Dapto is the only one of 15 GRNSW TAB clubs not to have signed up to a guaranteed funding arrangement for the next three years, and we now suspect there are ulterior motives at play as to why.

"We are highly suspicious about the DAHS financial accounts presented to us about their financial position for the Dapto Greyhound Racing Club."
