Amazing Greyhound in New Zealand.

This dog has captured the hearts of millions in Australia. In the 80's we had a greyhound here called "Scurlouge Champ" he was known as a freak, coming from miles behind just to win on the line, brilliant to watch. This bitch is the same, she was twice suspended from racing in Australia as "not trying" failing to persue the Hare in their opinion, she was just getting started!!

Taken to New Zealand, where she was allowed to race, her distance was increased, just watch her, she is simply AMAZING!! She is the one thats always at the back to begin with. Her name is "Swift Fantasy"





The match race against Australia's champion stayers.


Ive posted this for those who are interested in watching only, not for debate.

My pal has an ex racer. It was his dog that he raced. She was rubbish so he retired her to his sofa. He still as to take her to a flapper track every 6 weeks or so as she loves the track. He runs her on her own and she loves it.

She really is just amazing.

Reminds me of many moons ago I used to go and watch the guys race their Whippets with my Border Collie Toby. Toby always desperately wanted to chase the lure. and the guys decided that he should have a go, for a joke. So all the dogs put into their traps including my Toby. They were all laughing thinking this would be fun.

He came second out of 4. It was great to see their faces.

My Lottie does it for a treat. Not in a trap though and I run her on her own. She loves it. Knows where we are as soon as she gets there and screams the place down until she gets her goes. She's a pointer.

Wow! She reminds me of Hidalgo. Fabulous to see her coming from so far behind, she looks like she's barely running at first then suddenly taking the win - amazing!
Just looked on Greyhound-Data and it seems she's only run 6 races altogether, but 100% success rate!

I think its nice that she is doing so well and obviously times it to perfection. She makes up so much ground, her speed around the last two bends is amazing.

What an amazing hound , whats happening with her now ?
She is still racing.
