One of the trailblazers of Victorian greyhound racing, Pat Haas, has sadly passed away at age 79.

Pat was among the inaugural inductees into Victorian greyhound racing's Hall of Fame.

She led the way for female greyhound trainers despite being faced with many challenges relating to equal opportunity.

Pat won the inaugural Metro Ladies Trainers Premiership in 1973, and followed up with Metro Trainers Premierships in 1974, 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1981.
