Newcastle now plan to introduce graded sprints



NEWCASTLE is about to introduce sprinting into the graded programme at The Fossway.

Racecourse operations manager Ian Walton has been approached about giving two-bend racing a try and he has now agreed to run a trial to see just how much appeal that it has.

He says: “Some of our trainers have been talking to me about putting on graded races over two bends as they have some greyhounds in their kennels that are struggling a bit to really see out the 480 metres at the track."

This move up at Newcastle is bound to prove a winner with all trainers and owners...

Here's hoping the likes of Belle Vue follow there lead!
