Greyhound Racing

Australian greyhound racing is a fast paced and exciting sport starring pure bred greyhounds who race around an oval track at incredible speeds while chasing after an artificial ‘bunny rabbit’, which the dogs are trained to chase. Greyhounds can run in excess of 60 kilometres an hour, making the races quite quick but ultimately, this pace is what attracts a lot of punters to bet on the dogs.

In Australia, there are generally 8 greyhounds per race, and each number coincides with the box they’re drawn to race from. Generally speaking, the inside draw(box 1) and the outermost box(8) are preferred by punters, as the dogs drawn in the middle are more likely to get “checked”, or cut off.

Online Greyhound Form Guides, Stats and Tips

There are two websites that I use regularly when betting on greyhound racing in Australia, these are great free services that offer similar statistics, ratings and tips that paid services provide.

The Watchdog

Daily Victorian and South Australian greyhound form guides including The Meadows, Warrnambool, Geelong, Sale, Sandown Park, Ballarat, Cranbourne, Shepparton, Horsham and Warragul. The site contains replay videos, reports, detailed statistics and more. You can use their online form browser, which is a full-featured interactive form guide including suggested betting tips from The Watchdog himself, or download different versions of the form in PDF format listed below.

• The Whisper: Summary of races on 1 page.
• The Snapshot: Beginners guide with symbols to help assessment.
• The Runaway Train: 3 page intermediate guide with assessment.
• The Brainstormer: Standard guide showing 1 race per page.
• The Rocket Scientist: Advanced guide with 30+ pages full of useful information.

The Watchdog has helped me win on the dogs countless times, I’d recommend you have a peek if you’re into having a punt on the dogs in Australia.

TheDogs.com.au

Complete online form guide for all NSW greyhound race meets including The Gardens, Richmond, Wentworth Park, Wagga Wagga, Bathurst C, Bulli, Lismore, Gosford and Nowra.

TheDogs.com.au don’t have quite as many choices with the formguide as the Watchdog, there are still 3 different guides to choose from: the basic field, the Wrapper, and the Expert form guides. There’s also complete historical race results, future racing calendars and detailed track information. I have to mention The Dogs TV greyhound videos which feature form analysis, the latest betting markets, expert tips and more. You’ll also find a detailed stats section on the site.
