What's the most important thing to win at the greyhound track

Everyone wants to know how to win at the greyhound track. And everyone wants to know the secret to winning more at the greyhound track. The truth is, there isn't really just one thing and there certainly isn't a secret. So why am I writing a blog about this? Simple, there is one thing that will help. It isn't the ONLY thing and it isn't a secret. But it is the best starting point. Of course, this is my opinion. But I think my opinion carries some weight. I have been winning for over 15 years at the track.


The starting point for successful handicapping in my opinion is speed. It is from this launching point that all other factors should be considered. Let me illustrate this with an extreme hypothetical race situation. Lets assume you have a standard US 8 dog race. Seven of the greyhounds average a finish time of 31.00. Now lets imagine the remaining dog has an average finish time of 29.00. A whole second advantage. I would submit to you that post position, track conditions, class of the other dogs or anything else wouldn't matter much in this race. Is it possible the standout dog could lose? Sure, anything is possible. Is it going to happen enough that betting against this greyhound would be profitable? Not likely.

So it is from a first evaluation based on speed that you begin your journey. In races with very closely matched dogs, speed won't be the factor. But you must know the speed to identify this. So speed is still the first factor. Once you evaluate the speed of the greyhounds you can rank them. The top half are your most likely contenders (it could be all 8 of course if they are ranked closely enough) and you start with these contenders.

What will make the difference for these contenders? Will it be the post? Will it be track bias? Will it be the kennel? How many other things can you look at that will matter? You need to look at them all until you find a greyhound best positioned to get the advantage.

So the answer to the original question in my opinion is speed. It is merely the starting point, but it is an important starting point. Possible the most important of anything you can look at.
