Dog racing is a very popular sport in the UK. Once associated with the working classes, it is now enjoyed by people from all walks of life. This is thanks largely to many greyhound stadia greatly improving their facilities and making efforts to attract a wider clientele.

I have been greyhound racing on many occasions and find it a thrilling sport to watch. Races occur every ten minutes or so, meaning that there is always action. You can watch either trackside, or on many TVs showing the live action. Greyhound racing is a very community orientated sport, and there is often a real family feel around the track. If you like greyhounds you can even apply to home a retired racing dog!

If you want to go out and experience the joys of dog racing, there are dozens of race tracks around the UK, please visit the dog race tracks link to the left of the page to find the closest one to you.
