Knowing your dogs is a very good start to placing a successful wager. Dogs have pedigrees and certain peak ages just like horses do, and like horses can be affected by track conditions, injury and illness. A full history of each dog should be sought before placing a wager. These can be found online as well as at the actual track itself from a number of people who are in the industry. When taking anyone’s advice into account, be sure to do some research yourself to ensure that it is, in fact, sound.

Greyhound’s peak at a certain age, male dogs at about two and females at about three. Heavier dogs do better in wet conditions than lighter dogs, and dogs that lump to the front of the pack may run into trouble on the first turn. All of these things need to be researched and looked into before placing any wagers.
