Fell First Turn, DNF

Bunny schooled again on Thursday.She didn’t exactly burn up the track on her first schooling race, so I anxiously and excitedly pulled up the schooling results on Friday morning.

My excitement quickly drained away and my anxiety shot up quite a few notches.

Things are moving at the track!

Unfortunately, our dear Bunny doesn’t seem to be moving as fast as the other dogs…LOL She had her first schooling race Monday morning and not only did she finish without her muzzle…she finished dead last.

 Her name was officially approved by the NGA: Fast Fluffy. The name has significant  meaning to me. Long before I ever considered actually owning a racer,  I would spend many hours chatting on the phone with my friend Heather (she happens to be with Team Greyhound). In addition to “girl talk”, we always seemed to [...]

Bunny is at the track!

Great news from Heather at Team Greyhound! Our first race dog, Bunny, arrived at Southland Greyhound Park a couple weeks ago. We’re still waiting for the naming paperwork to go through and she’ll have a month or two of training at the track before her first race. Her trainer, J.T., will get her used to running round [...]

From Pet Owner to Racing Owner

Ken’s first exposure to greyhounds was going to the Thursday night races at Gulf Greyhound Park with his friends. It wasn’t until later that he adopted his first retired racer. My first exposure to greyhounds was on the internet when I was researching a breed for my first pet. It wasn’t until after I’d adopted [...]
