further plating and watering if required

Every effort is made
to provide the greyhounds with the safest possible circuit to race
on, the bends are cambered to assist them in turning and a complete
new inside running rail was installed in 2006. The kennels all have
an individual air brick and are also air conditioned to keep the
greyhounds comfortable in all weather conditions. Specially designed
foam composite mats provide the greyhounds both comfort and hygene
whilst they are kenneled.
