Fantasy Greyhound Racing

   There are several of us who miss the fun of greyhound racing since The Woodlands closed in Kansas City, but we have found a way to bring a little of the excitement back. A lot of sports have Fantasy Leagues, so we thought we would apply this concept to greyhound racing. So, you are invited to join our Fantasy Greyhound Racing League. Our competition will be limited to just one card a week. We will use the Saturday evening race card each week at Derby Lane in St. Petersburg, Fla.
    How to play: You simply pick the one dog that you think will win each race, and then you will get points for your team if the dog finishes in the top four spots. A win is worth 16 points, second place is worth 10 points, third place is worth 8 points and fourth place is worth 6 points. If your dog finishes in fifth through eighth place or is scratched, your team gets zero points for that race.

   Check out the Derby Lane website at www.derbylane.com. They have one of the best dog track web sites around, featuring replays, entries, stats and live racing. Once you make your picks, use the drop-down form below to enter your picks for all races on the Saturday evening cards. The deadline for entries is 6 p.m. CST (7 p.m. EST) each Saturday. Your official entry time will be the time posted on your submission. Go ahead give it a try and have some fun.
 
  You can now follow the Fantasy Greyhound Racing League on Facebook. Log on, search for Fantasy Greyhound Racing League, click the "Like" button and become a fan.
