The Speed Star series moves for the first time from Sandown to The Meadows due to track surface issues at Sandown Park which have put the track out of play until maintenance works can rectify the issues.
Traditionally the Speed Star events at Sandown have always favoured the leading greyhounds. This is contrary to most people's thinking – the natural bias is to think that in a small field of just two dogs, “run on” greyhounds are advantaged. This is never the case in practice.
Doubling down on the fact leaders are advantaged, The Meadows is a track which offers very little to greyhounds in the back straight and home corner who have to go wide or get off the track to get around greyhounds. The bias is heavily toward railing greyhounds and those on speed.
Accordingly we expect most of the Speed Star Series events to be won by leaders today, with the exception of some of the staying (725m) and middle (600m) distance match races where many of the events are absolute class mis-matches.
