Do You Know What Racing Records Are for Grafton Greyhound?
Did you know there is a racing record when a greyhound takes part in one or more official races? The record shows which track the greyhound has competed at, the dates where the greyhound finished the race and the grade of every race. This grading system ensures that Grafton greyhounds are running in races with all other greyhounds of the same speed to remain competitive. The male and female greyhounds race together and in the same race, irrespective of their sizes.
The different grades of Greyhound Racing
When the greyhounds
start racing, they start their race at Grade M. This means maiden. This grade
is for greyhounds that haven't officially won a race. When a greyhound wins a
race, it will shift to Grade D, then to Grade C, B and A, respectively,
according to their wins. Grade A is for the fastest dogs. There are a lot of
tracks that have grades, like Grade AA races, Grade J races and Grade E
races.
The Grade J races are
only for greyhounds starting their careers. Few greyhounds will compete in the
top races, also known as the stake races, indicated on the racing records with
an S. some Grafton greyhounds earn thousands of dollars for their racing
kennels and owners. The grades of the greyhound go up and down according to how
they finish each race.
A grade D racer on one track can be a Grade B racer on a less competitive track. When a Grafton greyhound doesn't finish within the 1st to 4th place in a Grade M, Grade E or Grade D race for a consecutive number of times according to the rules set by the track, the greyhound is "graded off" from the way.
