EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the archives, two thoroughbred greyhounds are seen being trained at Northaw Kennels, circa 1939. The image captures the intensity and focus of the greyhound trainers as they prepare their canine athletes for the exhilarating sport of greyhound racing. The greyhounds, with their powerful muscles and sleek bodies, are tethered to their trainers by sturdy leashes and leads, their eyes fixed on the distant track. The scene transports us back to an era when greyhound racing held a prominent place in popular culture, particularly in the United Kingdom during the 1930s. The sport, governed by the Greyhound Racing Association, had gained immense popularity, with races being held at various tracks across the country, including White City, the most famous of them all. The image also serves as a reminder of the close bond between the trainers and their greyhounds. The trainers, with their experienced hands and patient demeanor, understand the unique needs of their canine charges, nurturing their natural instincts and abilities to help them reach their full potential on the racetrack. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and tradition of greyhound racing, a sport that continues to captivate and thrill audiences to this day. The image is a testament to the enduring connection between humans and dogs, and the shared love for the thrill of the chase.
