Another captivating sight is the Catford Stadium advertisement showcasing the grace and elegance of these noble dogs. It's hard not to be captivated by their beauty as they sprint across the track with sheer determination. But beyond their external appearance lies an intricate skeleton that supports their every move. A close look at the skeleton of a greyhound reveals how each bone works together harmoniously to propel them forward effortlessly. Greyhound racing has been popular for decades, with White City being one of its historic venues.
