EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of Sunderland Greyhound Stadium in its heyday. As dusk settles over the racetrack, floodlights illuminate the scene, casting a mesmerizing blue glow on the dogs as they race towards victory. Silhouetted against the fading light, the grandstand stands tall, adding to the sense of anticipation and excitement. Originally opened in 1940, this historic stadium has seen its fair share of ups and downs. In the 1960s, it lost its license but continued to operate as an unlicensed racetrack while also hosting thrilling speedway races. However, greyhound racing made a triumphant return to Sunderland Greyhound Stadium in the 1990s. Today, this iconic venue holds a special place in British sports history as one of only 25 licensed tracks operating across the country. It is not just about betting and gambling; it represents a rich sporting heritage that has captivated audiences for decades. Simon Inglis's expertly captured photograph allows us to relive those magical moments under floodlights at Sunderland Greyhound Stadium. The energy and passion emanating from both spectators and competitors are palpable through his lens. This image serves as a testament to our enduring love affair with sports and recreation while celebrating these magnificent animals who have become an integral part of this beloved pastime.
