Do you guys not follow the best punting sport of the lot ? Greyhound racing is excellent. I specifically follow the graded racing at Romford, shown live on William Hill Tv (website) . Learn the dogs and youl find it a lot more consistent than any other punting game .

I took the Mrs to Belle View Manchester a couple of years ago. We had a great night and definitely would recommend it
 
Belle vue, went a few times whilst living up north but now it's central park in sittingbourne for us or crayford from time to time
To be fair only watch the dogs on a Saturday morning on ATR or I wouldn't bother unless a night out is arranged.

I often watch the Derby trials and the Derby, if I remember when they are on. No jockeys to ruin the chances but a bump on a bend can be the end of any chance.
 
Nice to see there is a bit of interest. Like I say for a punting perspective you can't beat the sport , take note of the dogs that actually chase the hare and your half way there ! I would say 70% of greyhounds aren't even genuine as most just like to run in the pack.
Do your research and youl eventually be able to go for a night out at the track where the bookie pays for your food and beer ;) . Just been to Towcester tonight and had a great night.

My brother is big into greyhounds as an owner breeder has dogs with Wallis at towcester and often has runners at Romford mainly open runners. Don't ask me names, but il find out.
 
True story. Back in the late 90s the channel 9 footy show (rugby league) decided they'd race a greyhound for charity. Being a bunch of dick heads, they decided to name the animal Nads. The trainer took the dog to Dapto to trial him. He went like a busted arse. The trainer called the show's producers and told them the dog shouldn't run in the maiden race on the Thursday because it was useless, but was told the promo had been aired so Nads had to run.It bolted in by 7 lengths and a legend was born. In prize money and donations, he raised $250,000 for charity during his career.

The fun part of race night for patrons was when the dog took to the track. For most of the race all you could hear was the roar of the crowd as they cheered him on. Go Nads ... Go Nads ... Go Nads ... :)
