Richmond greyhound preview & racing tips | Friday, 17/1/25
Richmond returns this Friday night with a top-notch 10 race program. With the first race set down to begin at 6.58pm local time, it will be a great night of racing, with the fifth grade final and a fantastic 622m race to highlight the program. Australian Racing Greyhound as always has done the form to find you three of the best.
Richmond Best Bet – Busy Man (Race 4)
Busy Man has taken all before him in his six starts to date with a perfect six from six to his credit. He only just missed the 17.83 track record by the barest of margins last start and finds another infinitely winnable race and the perfect box to boot. On personal best times, he has almost six lengths on his nearest rival and whilst he will be very short with , he is extraordinarily good and should win easily again, but can he break the track record?
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
Busy Man (1)
Form: 11111 | Career: 6 6-0-0 | Trainer: Sydney Swain
Next Best – Jack’s Rocket (Race 7)
Jack’s Rocket won his heat in the fastest time of the night last week and whilst he draws awkwardly out inbox eight, he will probably start a warm favourite with . He had to do some work from box seven in his heat and connections will be hoping he can begin as well and find his way to the front again in this final. He has a tremendous record here at Richmond with four wins and two placings from six starts and while he has never had box eight, he did win his heat from box seven.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
Jack’s Rocket (8)
Form: 12521 | Career: 10 5-2-1 | Trainer: Sydney Swain
Best Value – Russo (Race 2)
Russo began ok last week before getting checked in the early stages and again coming to the home turn, so you can forgive that run. His previous run here was off box one, where he was run down by a strong Zipping dog. He will appreciate getting box one again here and with a slow starter outside of him, he may well take full advantage of the box. He has started at big odds recently and may well start over his true odds again with the online bookmakers here, which would see him as a tremendous value bet.
Best Value
Race 2 – Russo (1)
Form: 24426 | Career: 30 2-6-1 | Trainer: Bradley Richardson
