What nostalgia! I well remember my first Derby final night in 1980 at White City. I was in awe of the place…. the immaculate all turf track, brilliant track lighting, colourful huge tote boards….. and the 30,000crowd! How Indian Joe won it from Hurry on Bran that night after an injury scare the week before was just something else…… wonderful memories of the greatest track I’ve had the privilege to get to visit!

Had no idea dogs used to run on grass, every race I'd ever seen was on sand or whatever it is they use.
@ashingtoon 2 жыл бұрын
Up until the 1970’s it was very rare to see a sand track in the UK. initially some tracks introduced sanded bends then in the 1980’s all sand tracks became the norm. There were more injuries on grass that’s why sand became popular, easier on the dogs.

SO SAD! THEY TORTURE THEM HORRIBLY. THANK GOD THEY SHUT IT DOWN. THINK ABOUT THE DOGS!!
@ashingtoon 3 жыл бұрын
Sorry but they do not torture them! My dogs would be fed before me if I was short of money. You are making assumptions based on the internet.... they’re is a lot of bad stuff on there from all walks of life. There are people who love their greyhounds and they love to run. Cruelty is not something I have come across personally and I would not tolerate it if I did. This track was the pinnacle of dog racing and a lot of people, including me were gutted when it closed. Proper greyhound people DO THINK ABOUT THE DOGS AND THEIR WELFARE!!!!!!!

I was fortunate enough to own one of his offspring a 1981 whelp, a Black dog named Young Black who I flapped with, he inherited his fathers blistering early pace and never beaten when he led.

My grandad took me that night as a 10 year old lad, my first experience of greyhound racing. The next day we moved to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth stadium became a regular night out for us, the only track that ran 5 dogs.

Closing the White City Track killed the sport dead, it was hell of a night, and some super-dogs, the winner was owned by Salford Van hire, never heard off him having any more dogs. I saw Band win the Manchester Puppy Derby, the girl who had walked him around had him jumping in the air at least 10 times in the paddock, some sort of game - not sure what this was about? even so he won. A fine dog,
