Im wondering why it isnt mandatory to get the dog warm on a walking machine prior to a race?
Any athlete nowdays does it.

when we take dogs from the kennels we give the muscles a light rub with SHARPS green rub, down their back and 2 shoulders also on back muscles. Then a quick rub with a towel.

you dont see ian reilly,ginger mc gee,owen mc kenna etc rubbing or stretching dogs before races,it dont make any diference,just get them out and keep em walking thats it,you can put a dog off by making such a fuss before going to traps,all they want to do is get on with the job,if they are good enough they will win,any rubbing or stretching should be done at home its too late when you get too the track,thats just people getting nervous before a race
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
