Track closures
Greyhounds UK is undertaking analyses to determine whether the greyhounds
that ran at Walthamstow and Reading tracks shortly before they closed went
on to establish new stable lives elsewhere. The analyses are entirely
factual. They contain no judgments. They use only used public domain data
and communications from anyone having direct knowledge of specific dogs.
The conclusions of the Walthamstow analysis were: (a) 70% of the
greyhounds that ran at Walthamstow shortly before it closed in mid-August
went on to establish new stable lives elsewhere – either racing at other
tracks or joining a re-homing scheme; (b) there is no evidence that any of
the remaining dogs are stable – most of them have trialed or raced only
occasionally over the last 3 months and many have not been seen for 2
months or more; and (c) the number of ex-Walthamstow greyhounds which
disappeared from view altogether now stands at zero. No further analyses
of the Walthamstow greyhounds are currently scheduled.
The current results of the Reading track closure analysis are shown
opposite and in the table (button below). If you have relevant information
about any of the 224 dogs in the Reading list, please submit a report
