Greyhound racing boosted by Sky

The coverage given to greyhound racing on Sky TV is proving vital to the sport.

The satellite channel showcases the vast majority of the sports major events and they also spread their coverage across as many tracks as possible throughout the United Kingdom.

Seeing the best dogs in action regularly on the TV, allows punters to gain knowledge of the dogs and also to get an idea on various dogs running styles and also their form lines. It also ensures that vast numbers of punters who wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to the sport are able to sit and watch it from the comfort of their own homes, something that can only do it good in the long run.

With the Greyhound Derby getting ever nearer it is a key time for greyhound followers to be tuning into the Sky open race action, as form clues for the Derby will be on offer with almost every race. What’s more, with the channel likely to promote the event with its usual brand of glitz and glamour, it should attract more than a few interested viewers.

The Trainers Championship meeting at Wimbledon on March 22nd promises to be a cracking night and punters looking at the Greyhound Derby odds will no doubt pick up plenty of tips. The top six trainers from 2010 face off on the night with all their main protagonists going head-to-head in a series of races over the Derby course.

If you’re a dog enthusiast it’s a meeting not to miss and it’s available live in your living room thanks to Sky sports.
