About the team

Greyhound racing is a popular form of live animal racing, where greyhounds are trained to chase a mechanical lure, known as a hare, around a track. The sport is often associated with excitement and speed, with greyhounds capable of reaching high velocities. In greyhound racing, the objective is to complete the course in the shortest time possible, with the fastest time determining the winner. The sport is typically held on an oval track, with various distances and formats, including sprints and longer events. The level of competition in greyhound racing can vary, from local meetings to major international events, with the latter often featuring high-quality fields and significant prize purses. The sport requires a great deal of skill and physical conditioning from the participating greyhounds, as well as careful training and management from their handlers.
