When trying to pick winners in greyhound racing, there are several important factors to consider. Let's break them down:
The Draw
The "draw" refers to the starting position or trap from which a greyhound begins the race. Racing managers or handicappers assign these positions based on previous performances. A key consideration is whether the chosen trap will allow the greyhound a clear run.
Finding the Leader
Identifying the leader is crucial to backing a winner. Compare the split times of the runners and consider their overall early speed. Don't be misled by one fast performance if others are consistently slower.
Class
Class is determined by the racing manager’s assessment of a greyhound’s level at a given time. Grading systems typically use prefixes, such as "A" for 475 meters at Walthamstow and "S" for 640 meters. Numbers follow these letters to indicate the race grade, with A9 being the lowest and A1 the highest.
Greyhounds move within these grades based on performance. You'll notice some dogs excel at certain levels while struggling when moving up in class.
Improvers
Bitches returning from seasonal rest often fall into this category. They usually regain peak form about 16-20 weeks after their season starts, with this date clearly indicated on the race card.
Due to inactivity during their season, bitches may return to racing at a lower level. A successful punter will spot when a bitch is ready to perform at her best and invest wisely.
Distance
Pay attention to dogs running over unsuitable distances. A dog showing strong staying power over 475 meters might be a good bet when moved to a 640-meter race. Conversely, a dog struggling to finish 640 meters might perform well over 475 meters.
