Flipping heck, just googled the weights etc for italian greyhounds.  Didn't realise they're so light, even though I was talking to to a woman that owns two of the them, a few months ago.

You will enjoy the company of Whippet Racers..

Some are incredibly competitive and take things very seriously,...they are generally the ones who get to make up, Racing Champions, etc...

 But, on the whole, whippet enthusiasts are a grand bunch to be around and a race meeting is frequently a day out, for all the family..

I spent many warm Summers on the track, and experienced loads of piss taking and light hearted banter, as my cobby wee rabbiting dogs,.. all galloped in last

 Too true mate I turned up at a Club yrs ago with two ped whippets looking for a race but weren’t allowed as it was a non ped gang in the end they let me have a run with me rabbit catchers and the pair ran half hearted fencing each other for 50 yards then tipped it bolox lol

One thing I did notice was the lure resembled a shredded magic carpet of plastic bags not the small furry thing of yrs back will add went racing once with a few ped whippets one of them won more stakes coursing pre ban than any other ped whippet the other hadn’t been led up by any dog  they both jumped out half way not interested lol same as lure coursing no real runner plays that game but it’s all fun at end of day and it’s good to get beaten out of ya zone  I love me sloth peds whippets
