What Do You Know About Greyhound Racing?

A greyhound race is a competition between this specific breed of dog famous for its highly agile athletic physiognomy and passion for hare hunting. The hounds run across a track chasing an artificial hare, which runs down an electrified lane and is always ahead of them. The greyhound that first crosses the finish line wins and can be betted on togel Hongkong.

Greyhounds: Types Of Races

Circuit – Greyhounds run around an oval. In general, the greyhound that gets the first compartment or trap tends to have a slight advantage by being able to take turns in a closed way, which helps him to take the lead of the race from the start and control the passage of the others.

In horse racing, a determining factor in improving the race is the rider. On the other hand, in greyhound racing, the absence of riders makes them a little more unpredictable when it comes to establishing a strategy.

Obstacle races – Very common in English dog tracks, jump barriers are placed on the track. Betting on greyhound racing of this type is not so common, and it isn’t easy to bet on it.

Track racing – The tracks are straight with lengths from 500 to 800 meters. These races are reserved for “English” breed dogs that are high sprint but low resistance. Here the favourite tends to win more often than in traditional circuit races.

Open Country Racing – Uncommon, two dogs run in the open after hunting a hare. Five horse-riding judges rate the race closely, which should last 55 seconds.

Greyhound Racing History

Greyhound racing is newer than you might think. The first of all was attempted in Hendon, Wales in 1876, but nothing happened as the dogs did not do what was expected of them and no further thought was given to the matter.

It was in the United States in the year 1920, in California, where sport emerged with the modern structure that we know today. However, the greyhound race is better known as an English sport due to the great popularity it had in that country and which persists.

Charles Munn, together with Major Lyne-Dixon and Brigadier General Critchley founded the Greyhound Racing Association of Great Britain and carried out the first race in that country at the Belle Vue in Manchester in 1926. After the Second War, the sports world was very well received by the working class, which took the habit of making small bets for greyhounds during the working day.
