chartpolski 23,915 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 We used to handicap the non-ped whippets at 16 yards per second, back when they were doing 9 seconds for 150 yards. These days the best are doing 150 yards in 8 seconds or less. That's almost 19 yards per second ! Cheers. 4 Quote Link to post

Expand Am I missing something here ? 19 yards per second is 57 feet per second. Not a huge difference to 60 feet per second. Even if I say so myself, I'm not a bad greyhound and whippet handicapper. We allways worked at 6/100ths of a second per yard, and were never far out. You could allways lift or pull a dog a yard or two if you got it slightly wrong Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

I was just sort of confirming, in my own mind, the figures you put up, to greyhounds. 1 Quote Link to post
