Not strong finishers. Greyhounds always run flat out and Scurlogue was often last because it was a relatively slow greyhound over 1 lap. When greyhounds tire they slow dramatically, Scurlogue, for some freakish reason, tired much later and maintained its speed longer than other greyhounds, That is what gives the illusion of acceleration. In reality all of the dogs are slowing it is just that Scurlogue slowed less and later than the other dogs. Great spectacle though.

A great watch, was at Ramsgate on the nt he ran, doubt we'll see another like the 'Champ' and footage shows how far the sport has declined over years with most of the tracks now gone and hardly any people going, realise a diff time now even so do miss them nights at the track.

I think this Greyhound is deliberately letting the other dogs waste away in the first lap, only to suddenly accelerate 15 km/h faster than the other dogs, so that the second lap is no problem for him to win the race.
@nicolashuffman4312 Жыл бұрын
I've had 3 greyhounds now, and I can say without hesitation that the worst thing you could do to one is to NOT let it race. These are four-legged Ferraris, and they should not be conscripted to a life in traffic stuck behind soccer moms. Let them race! Sure, any human pursuit can be done badly, but God, these dogs are born to run.

There was a dog at Lincoln Greyhound Park by the name of subliner who did the same thing as this dog has been doing from last to first every time. And I was there just about every time to lay down my bet on this dog. At last count SUBLINER had won 18 straight races. Then I got laid up and could not go and put my bet on subliner so I don't know if he extended the 18th straight wins even further and amazing Greyhound to say the least all black and what a closure!

Went to the greyhound racing at White City once with the family when I was a kid in 1974. I fondly remember watching a few of Scurlogue Champ's races on telly (ITV used to show them sometimes late on midweek evenings,I think - perhaps they were part of their Midweek Sport Special programme).
