Just 2 quick questions as I don't know much about the Greyhound Racing

1 - Do the dogs get handicaped and if so how does it work?
2 - Do the dogs carry weights in the "saddle" cloth?

Handicaped by GRADES faster dogs run against other faster dogs

The Grade starts from A11 to A1 then on to OPEN class ( like a graded horse race)

Pups need to run 3 qualifying trials to find their grade etc

This is open to skulduggery

The best dog wins basically

No weights and no sex allowance

Enjoyed the replays and much can go wrong before the final but should we be taking JJ at 7/2 to win the final?
I gather it does not hit the boxes like that every time but 28 secs !!
