I just want to know in Britain or anywhere else have they recently had a cheetah at a coursing meet? I know that one time ,I believe, in England they raced the cheetahs against whippets. The cheetahs quickly passed the whippets and caught the rabbit. The 2nd try they gave the whippets a head start but the cheetahs quit because the race was too long for them. Then the greyhound and cheetah was put against each other. This was on a track however and the cheetahs kept cuting across the tracks. There is an even hardly known rsce when a cheetah was raced against greyhounds successfully. A female domestic cheetah was criticized because it was said that it never ran faster than 45 miles per hour. They also said it made poor turn around the curves. Now in Englandthey raced a greyhound against pidgeon which is said to be able to fly at 90 miles an hour and the greyhound won the 1st race!. In England will they ever try the reputable cheetah against the sighthound whippet Saluki and Greyhound again?
