Big Ben was an 18 lbs pedigree whippet and was mated to a greyhound called penny. Both these dogs belonged to the late Charlie Beresford. The litter of five included Double Top a 36lbs bitch, fantastic around Poolestock(greyhound track in Wigan, long since gone) Toffee Girl 30lbs top class...

it seems to me (and I could be wrong), that a weight class is there for what it says, i.e.up to 20 lbs up to 24 lbs etc.I don't believe it is a weight limit.If you weigh 23 lbs , you run in that class. some people do pick and choose what class they go in, whereas some people don't get the...

I was recently told, that it was a disadvantge for a dog to run in the 40lbs scr. then run in it's (as weighed) class of 35lbs.the dog in question, didn't stand a 'snowballs' chance against R.CH Simpson, so why did he do it I ask myself.some 35 races and at least 2 hrs rest, it ran in it's...

Hi Neil, when a greyhound 'has a go',under NGRC rules it's card is marked. if it offends again it is banned for life.They usually put the faster ones over hurdles to keep their mind on the job in hand after the first 'do'. On the independant scene, it has to be really naughty to get ' warned...

Yes, the same mick with the greyhound. I'm waiting for her to break and then she's going to SPELLBOUND. I got the bitch, because she was retired through injury.she went to MICKY MOUSE but didn't take and because she looked so well,I took her for a spin around Ellesmere Port.After a sprint...
