ON THE OPEN RACES SCENE IN THE UK WE HAD ONE WINNER LAST NIGHT AT NOTTINGHAM SWIFT KIPPER. The below write up is taking from the greyhound star.
Swift Kipper won the only 500m open on the night, not for catching off a very smart 4.93 split. With the track as quick as it was, there was little concern that Terry Munslow’s bitch would be reeled back in after that sort of start, another who has been a Nottingham win machine this year, picking up her 16th success in 2026.
