I keep doing that, don't I!  But at least I noticed before you edited it for me  

Here now, was it the Hackney Wick track or the Clapton, Hackney track?

Both daughters were born a stones throw from both in Homerton.

Clapton Hackney ?..... Nice try but it was the Wick.

Incidentally, i just read Clapton bought a stand from Mitcham Greyhound track. I dont know where this is, but am willing to bet it was Sandy Lane, one time home to Tooting and Mitcham FC and also the name of a top Greyhound.... I cant recall the race he won, thought it was the Derby but it isnt.

It was the TV trophy in the early eighties.

Im not 100% sure Brett, its to do with Marathons and the number of bends ( the part i dont know ) E means extended.

New question, can anyone tell me what a KS race is ?

Do you not remember the days of 8 dog races rather than 6 dogs.Thats what an 'E' grade race was.Them were the days with traps 7&8 in r/f/c doubles and trebles.


I think a KS is a kennel sweepstake but not 100%

Sounds about right Brett but I'd better wait for the quizmaster to get in...

Speaking of greyhounds, my lurcher lol, let rip yesterday.  He does that double suspension thing and there is no better sight in the whole world I reckon.

He then switches to a kangaroo impression which makes me laugh but is rather less cool

5) On a race card what does the term B stand for, as in B6 race.



Very tough question!!  

Am i right in saying that the only track that has this grade is Swindon?


Im not sure, it used to be a common grade, but you may well be right.

Hmmm i checked a few results and now i am confused, many tracks use grade A for 435 metres, they always used to be grade B though.


Noticed tonight that Swindon had a B1 contest over 509m.
