Me and a mate of mine have just started racing greyhounds and have 3 dogs between us.. they have all raced before competitively except one which is 15 months old.. We had this bitch for a trial the other day and she ran quite fast.. i was just wonderin what times your dogs have ran over a 2 bend race ( ive put 2 bend race because not sure what the distance is)...

any replies and advice would be greatly appreciated as we need the experience...

I'll get pictures of the 3 dogs we have in the next few days..
