Welcome to the Salacres Racing Team website. Here at Salacres kennels in the UK East Midlands we strive on a daily basis to get the very best from our team of racing greyhounds. We're attached to Nottingham stadium , home of the Select Stakes , The Eclipse , The National Sprint and since 2019 the home of the English Greyhound Derby. Nottingham has a standard four bend trip of 500 metres (547yards). As well as having graded dogs of varying abilities competing at Nottingham every Monday (RPGTV) , Tuesday , Friday (RPGTV) and Saturday we are also regularly seen competing around the UK in open races. We regularly have great success with our open race entries and will travel as far as is necessary to find the right race for our greyhounds. In September 2019 we achieved a dream that many in the sport hold but few achieve when winning a high class race on Irish Derby Final night at Shelbourne Park with Salacres Punch. They say it's difficult to compete against the Irish on their own soil , Punch gave them a start and a beating in a magnificent performance from a true superstar.
Whatever the class of our greyhounds each and everyone is treated as an individual receiving the good care and welfare that they deserve. Our greyhounds are treated as well as if not better than the majority of pets and thoroughly enjoy their careers as sporting athletes. Competing in a sport that enables them to carry out their natural instincts under strict veterinary supervision and on professionally prepared running surfaces. We get the most enjoyment out of seeing greyhounds which we have bred and reared ourselves progress from young babies to fully fledged canine athletes.
Our kennels are based in the picturesque village of Ruddington with plenty of countryside walks on our doorstep , yet Nottingham track is just a 10 minute drive away , so we really do have the best of both worlds.
