Jazz's girl 16.48 310 metres 2009? Just had a quick look on the site. I'm going back about 40ish years, at Ystrad. I think the 'distance' trip then was 515 metres lol.

terryd 8,043 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Never really followed the grey hound racing but there was a greyhound back ten year or so that was well known for exploding out the trap. I looked at couple of YouTube videos and was exciting stuff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
