How Does Rain Affect Bathurst Greyhound Racing Grounds?

Natural calamity is inevitable, and there is no stop to it. It can occur anywhere and everywhere. When natural calamity comes in a mild form, usually, it does not cause much damage. But, on the other hand, it can destroy an entire place when it takes a massive state or condition. A similar situation has happened in NSW, where huge destruction has occurred due to excessive flood and rainfall, destroying areas, surroundings, and even racing grounds like the Bathurst Greyhound.

In the below paragraphs, you can find out if greyhounds can race during rainy seasons and other related information that can be useful.

Can greyhounds race in the rainy season?

Greyhounds are capable of running in any season. Only the fall season affects their health a bit, but they are active all year. Until and unless the weather condition is too bad, races occur on their scheduled date and time.

What box number wins the most?

With 18.5 per cent of winners, box 1 is the most successful of the eight boxes assigned to each greyhound. This has always been the situation at practically all greyhound racetracks. The box is closest to the rail and thus the fastest route to the winning post.

What type of tracks do Greyhounds race on?

While seeing Greyhound replays, it is essential to know that although many of today's prestigious events were first hosted on grass tracks, most greyhound races are held on the sand worldwide. Other surfaces include 'loam tracks,' such as in Australia, and the traditional 'cinder tracks,' seen in greyhound racing's history.

What does "Going" mean in Greyhound racing?

Going allowances can be represented in two ways: positively or negatively. For example, a greyhound winning 29.36 on the ground is rated as 0.18 fast, reducing its final time to 29.18. As a result, it will be given a rating comparable to that track at that distance.

Which are the best sprint boxes?

The 1, 2, and 8 boxes are considered the best sprint boxes at most Bathurst greyhounds tracks. Of course, this is not constantly the case, as it varies depending on the track and weather conditions. However, if you look at the tracks' results, you will notice that 1s, 2s, and 8s appear more frequently than they should.

The sectional time 

The sectional time is the time it takes a greyhound to cross the finish line for the first time, and it indicates how swiftly the greyhound has begun the race.
