Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
Early speed gets a lot of attention at the dog track, as well it should. Fast dogs win races. But there's another type of dog that doesn't get nearly enough attention as the early speed dogs do. It can make you a lot of money if you know how to spot it.
I like closers, probably because they're a "come from behind" type of dog. It seems like they're underdogs throughout most of the race, until they gain in the stretch and close to pass the winner or to come in right behind the winner.
There's a certain type of closer that's one of my best bets. I can't even imagine how many times I've cashed tickets on this type of dog, but I know they don't owe me anything. That's for sure. They're what I call super-closers.
These dogs close no matter who or what gets in their way. Even if they're blocked right before the wire, somehow they seem to wiggle their way through the other dogs to nip the win at the wire. They don't always make it, but they never stop trying to pass the leading dogs.
These dogs are hard closers, who gain speed when the other dogs are losing speed. They run a much harder race than the other dogs, sometimes, but still have enough left at the end to pour it on. They deserve a lot of credit.
They also deserve a close look when you're handicapping. If you see a dog who closes on the leaders no matter how far back it is, consider putting it into your bet, especially if it's moving down in grade. With the grade drop and it's burning desire to win, you just might find that it pays pretty well.
