I made a 3 minute podcast as part of my radio work. The title is Should Greyhound Racing be banned? I argue why it shouldn't be banned! Have a listen - as I am willing to hear both sides of the argument. Check out my channel and click on the link to my webpage to check it out!
We have one of Westmead Hawk's daughters as a pet. Her racing name was Droopys Izzy but we just call her Izzy now. She's lovely but somtimes gets a bit excited near small dogs.
@MetalBru01 it's just that i found out in 1915 a black greyhound by the name of Osprey Hawk was born and mick the miller is related to that greyhound
thats the only reason why i was thinking that the hawk dogs are some way connected as it is written on the pedigree in the book called The Legend Of Mick The Miller, i bet in some way they are connected but i can't find further info on the likes of westmead hawk
I liked the race and it was realy amazing to see, how fast the dogs run. But do you think the dogs have a good life? How can they learn to run so fast? I hope not with violence.
greyhounds always have plenty of speed, i'm very much sure it has nothing to do with any violence what so ever as i guess it could be like the more you train at something then the better you would become, i also read about where as a greyhound gets older he or she gets stronger something like from the age of two
so maybe thats why they run so fast too but also these dogs are differen't to other dogs as they are far slimmer and the lighter you are then the faster you may go
i cant think of the race, but i wanna hear this commentator lose his self in w/hawk performance, by uttering something along the lines of 'good god almighty - he got up' - it was definitely this commentator after a w/hawk victory, he said it live on sky sports
without a shadow of a doubt, has to be one of the fastest to grace our great sport, his fabulous trackcraft and ability to stay out of trouble, INCREDIBLE, also, the best greyhound commentary, EVER, by gentlemen,errol blythe, legendary !!!!
Have been to the last 27 Derby finals and it is hard to pick a best final. I'm Slippy was electric and Rapid Ranger.. simply awesome... The Hawk out of this world.. But Slippy Blue for me personally cos I had a £100 on him at 16-1!!! However all Derby finals are magnifique!
this was my 6th derby finals night and what a great night it was . iv seen some great dogs over the years , ballyregan bob , scurlogue champ , lartigue note , rapid ranger , role of fame , lone wolf and many many more and westmead hawk is up there with the best of them . to anyone out there thats never been to a derby finals night make sure you do it b4 you die , its an unbelievable atmosphere . great dog , great race , thanks for posting the video , great memories !!!
I'm from the US and I've only been to two greyhound tracks, both in the state of Arizona. This video is amazing to me....I've never seen so many people at a greyhound track. I've never heard of Westmead Hawk, but it definitely looks like he was a superstar. Listen to that crowd!

@davidmartinsvideos Explain your reasons why you think this is a disgusting sport?
Are you really that dumb?
Dogs love to chase things,They are not whipped,Not ill treated,Not risking their lives,Get a grip and think before you type such shite.
