  Knowing the race times for the greyhounds is crucial because it shows the top racing performance. It implies the “class or category” of the runner and allows you to calculate the average speed of the greyhound racing around the track. The first thing you must know about the racetracks is different racetracks have different dimensions. The winning race times achieved on small circuits don’t represent the accurate racing capability of the dog. The reason is the speeds are associated with the “sharper tracks”, and they generally offer slower times.    Thus, before calculating the race times, it is crucial to take note of the necessary additions and deductions to bring the race timings into line. To find the accurate time, you should trial Maitland greyhounds individually and record their times over different distances on multiple tracks with other circumstances and surface conditions. Then, you can only decide by comparing the winning times and adjusting accordingly. Thus...

  The average weight of a greyhound varies between 28-36 kilos which are close to 62-80 pounds, and they stand 71-76 cm tall. They are known to be fearless while racing and show great determination to please their connection and the crowds who are watching. However, a few male racing dogs consistently find trouble in races and might even be considered a little awkward. Some of the greyhounds weigh more than 40 kgs. They are better suited to race on wide, galloping tracks with bigger circumferences. They also have an advantage over the female  Bathurstgreyhounds  when conditions underfoot become sloppy or wet because they take less strides to run a circuit.    Female greyhounds weigh between 22-31 Kilos, equal to 48-68 Lbs. They take care of themselves a little more than dogs and display “good track craft” since they can squeeze through the racing gaps than the larger dogs would not dare to go and will also have the advantage to “slip under the grill” quicker...

  It is crucial to know whether a greyhound is a female or male while predicting the outcome of the dog races. The reason is it indicates the consistency of the performance. In most races worldwide, male and female dogs compete against each other at different grades and distances. Male dogs are more consistent while racing and best suited to sprint and middle distances. However, there are exceptions to the rule.    Female  Maitland Greyhounds , on the other hand, are harder to train because the race schedules are continually interrupted when a female dog goes into season. It is withdrawn from all racing activities for at least 21 days or till the track veterinary surgeon gives the go-ahead. Mostly, they will be “off the track” for 8-10 weeks.    Does Knowing a Seasonal Date Help?   Knowing the “season date” gives a clue about the fitness level. Most female Maitland greyhounds that return from a seasonal rest will be a bit “race rusty” because...
