Greyhound Race

Greyhound Race
While chasing an electrically propelled lure in racetracks built specifically for dog racing, greyhounds may reach speeds of up to 64 km/h (40 mph). The breed’s physical attributes, such as its deep chest and great lung capacity, narrow and aerodynamic head, and strong muscles, give the greyhound its rapid acceleration and speed.
