Come on cast your mind back. No embarrassment in this as my family members use to race whippets at what is now, 'The Baggin'.

As a lad in my very early t.eens, I use to go there on a Sunday morning in order to see those that bred and raced their dog, run at the side of the football pitch. My cousin Tony had a bitch and amazingly, I can recall her name which was Suki. I watched in awe as a kid as he fed her raw eggs which she lapped up with glee and a diet of lords no what, as My late uncle Jack over saw the rest of her feed.

It was a big thing back in the day which has nice sadly died of off. Greyhounds and the money is where it is now.

Did anyone on here race whippets or knew anyone that did? It was a big mining thing back in the day all over South Yorkshire.
