Get Ready for National Greyhound Week

With just one week to go until National Greyhound Week kicks off on Monday, August 26, tracks across the nation are gearing up for what promises to be their most attended events of the year.

Racecourses are preparing to welcome large crowds, offering free entry to meetings, including the highly anticipated Bank Holiday races at Nottingham that will launch the week in style. 

The events aren't just about the thrilling action on the trackTop-tier action wasn't limited to just one venue, as Sheffield and Towcester both delivered standout performances.

At Sheffield, Toddys Thunder took centre stage with an impressive 39.03-second run over the 660m distance, securing a victory for trainer Tom Heilbron. Remarkably, only four dogs have clocked faster times over this distance in 2024, and Toddys Thunder, being at least six months younger than all of them, promises a bright future ahead.

Meanwhile, at Towcester, Romeo Command continued his winning ways under the guidance of Patrick Janssens. Known for his consistent success at this track, Romeo Command didn't disappoint, as his swift break from the traps made his 8/13 victory seem almost inevitable. Adding to the excitement, Mark Wallis enjoyed a fruitful afternoon with wins from Druids Eclipse and Gun Slinger, completing a satisfying double for the trainer.

There will be entertainment for the whole family, making it an ideal outing for a late summer holiday. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to enjoy a day of fun and excitement.
