What's it like at Hove?

"THE best track for me probably Hove. Good racing surface, great track for the grey hound that likes to gallop, good wide bends to get the dogs round as safe as possible.A good management team who generally want to do their best for the greyhounds and their welfare, and the owners association are listened to with the questions from their members. Facilities are good, nice restaurant to take your friends along for a good night out in a very pleasant atmosphere. Have a bet and a drink and I can promise that if you have not been before you will want to go back again."
