Category: GREYHOUNDS

JONATHAN HOBBS: For the first time since March, open racing graces the RPGTV and SIS screens tonight and crowd favourite Romford is definitely the place to be – well, almost. Another behind-closed-doors Friday night meeting at the Coral venue oozes class, but this time it’s full of open-race contests. Superb.

JONATHAN HOBBS: THIS time next week the greyhound scene will have welcomed back open racing, with RPGTV-backed competition heats scheduled at Romford on Friday and the Colossus Bets Kent Silver Salver at Central Park on Sunday. It means a batch of top sprints ahead of the Category Two event at the Kent track tomorrow (Sunday), as well as another decent card at Towcester.

JONATHAN HOBBS: CENTRAL PARK will only be behind Romford when it comes to staging open races again and begins the countdown to that day with probably the best graded race they’ve ever staged tonight. kick-starts its return as a greyhound track tonight in the best possible fashion with a crackerjack invitation race over 500m.

JONATHAN HOBBS: TOWCESTER kick-starts its return as a greyhound track tonight in the best possible fashion with a crackerjack invitation race over 500m.

SANDOWN PARK: They are racing at Sandown Park on Thursday – Sandown Park, Australia that is for a cracking card – including the group 1 Harrison-Dawson and four heats of the RSN Sandown Cup – the country’s premier race for stayers. We mark your card as to the best bets.

JONATHAN HOBBS: There’s a big-race double-header tonight on RPGTV shows both the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby and Racing Post Greyhound TV Steel City Cup Finals – both being broadcast on the channel as the greyhound show remains on the road.

JONATHAN HOBBS: It’s Friday night so Romford takes centre-stage and, while we’re now behind closed doors, top-class racing continues across Friday and Saturday until a suspension of open-racing kicks in.

JONATHAN HOBBS: Monmore and Sheffield take centre-stage tonight with some cracking action as, respectively, the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby and Racing Post Greyhound TV Steel City Cup reach the semi-final stage.

JONATHAN HOBBS: Saturday night’s the night I like, get some greyhound action in…. Apologies to Elton John and Bernie Taupin, but the best of the week’s action is very much Saturday-centric now and Sheffield and Monmore come to the table big-style with heats of two major Category One competitions.
