#1 Best Bet at Any Dog Track

Author: Eb Netr

In over 3 decades of watching dog races, I've seen a lot of dogs. So many that it's only the ones who had something special going for them that I really remember. When I think back over the races I've watched, the dogs I respected the most were the ones who had something that almost no one talks about when they mention dog racing. But it's the absolute most important character trait for winning dogs.

Back in the 80's, at what was then Lincoln Greyhound Park, there were a couple of great dogs. EP's Yar Yar and Homespun Rowdy were champions who had terrific winning percentages. I loved to watch them run but not just because they won so often.

The best thing about both of them was that they had "heart", something that's a major factor with winners of any species. Heart is what separates the "good" dogs from the "great" dogs. It's what allows a dog to win even when everything seems to be going against him winning - or even finishing the race.

I've seen dogs that fell down and still managed to finish in the money. They just didn't give up, even though some of the people who bet on them tore up their tickets because they were so sure that the dog didn't have a chance.

I've seen dogs come from so many lengths behind that they were in another zip code, as Jimmy the Greek used to say, and nip the winner at the wire. The crowd had counted them out early in the race, but they never considered doing anything but winning.

Dogs with heart run every race to win. But if they don't win, they don't let it discourage them from running their heart out in their next race. A burning desire to be first is part of their makeup and it can overcome obstacles that daunt other dogs.

If you notice one of these dogs, put it on your list of dogs to watch. "Heart" often shows up when the dogs are just puppies, because they're born with it. Keep an eye on them and bet them when they're in a race where they look like contenders. At the very least, enjoy watching them run, because they're the best runners at the track.
