We provide comprehensive information about UK greyhound racing, covering results, track details, betting fundamentals, and welfare statistics across all eighteen licensed venues in England and Wales.
Our Purpose
The UK greyhound racing landscape has changed dramatically since the sport’s peak in the 1940s when 77 licensed tracks attracted over 75 million annual attendees. Today, with only 18 GBGB-regulated tracks remaining, finding accurate and consolidated information about the sport requires effort. Our website aims to bridge this gap by presenting clear, factual content about racing results, track characteristics, and industry developments.
We believe that anyone interested in greyhound racing deserves access to reliable information, whether they follow the sport for entertainment, research purposes, or welfare monitoring. Our content draws from official sources including the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, the British Greyhound Racing Fund, and welfare organisations such as the Greyhound Trust.
What We Cover
Our coverage spans multiple aspects of UK greyhound racing. We provide guides to understanding race cards, form figures, and sectional times that help readers interpret racing data. Track profiles cover all active venues from Perry Barr in Birmingham to Valley Stadium in Wales, including circuit dimensions, running characteristics, and major competitions hosted at each location.
Beyond racing mechanics, we address the welfare dimensions that have become central to public discourse about the sport. Injury statistics, retirement outcomes, and rehoming data from official sources are presented alongside context about regulatory oversight and legislative developments in Wales and Scotland.
Historical context informs our coverage. Understanding that Belle Vue hosted Britain’s first greyhound race in 1926 and closed in 2020 helps explain why certain traditions and venues matter to the sport’s remaining followers. The trajectory from mass entertainment to niche activity shapes every aspect of modern greyhound racing.
Our Approach
We present information rather than advocacy. Greyhound racing generates strong opinions across the spectrum from dedicated supporters to abolitionists. Our role is to provide accurate data and context that allows readers to form their own conclusions. When welfare statistics show improvement, we report it. When critics raise legitimate concerns, we acknowledge them.
Content is updated regularly to reflect current race schedules, new welfare data releases, and developments in racing regulation. We rely on official publications and established industry sources rather than speculation or rumour.
Editorial Independence
We maintain editorial independence from racing operators, betting companies, and advocacy organisations. Our content decisions are based on reader interest and informational value rather than commercial or political considerations. We do not accept payment for favourable coverage or allow external parties to influence our content.
Responsible Gambling
While we provide information that may be useful to those who bet on greyhound racing, we do not offer betting advice or encourage gambling. Readers who choose to bet should do so responsibly and within their means. Resources for problem gambling support are available through BeGambleAware and the National Gambling Helpline.
Continuous Improvement
We welcome feedback that helps improve our content accuracy and usefulness. If you identify errors, outdated information, or gaps in our coverage, we appreciate notification so we can make corrections. Our goal is to be the most reliable independent source of UK greyhound racing information available.
