Daytona 550 Post Positions

As many of you may know, the 2016 Daytona 550 National Championship race is this coming Saturday evening, January 23 in Daytona Beach, Florida. There are 8 extremely talented greyhounds going for the title and included in this star studded field are two of Southland's best greyhounds, Chasmo's Dutch and Flying Fired Up. Post positions were drawn last Friday evening and I've listed them below. Last year's winner was HUSKER MAGIC and she is back to defend her title. It's an outstanding field with superstar greyhounds so best of luck to all greyhounds entered and all their connections as well. Please check back this week to see MoneyMaker Mike's pick to win. A special thanks to United Greyhound Racing for their vision and tireless efforts in bringing this together as well as TwinSpires and all others who have made this event possible. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone.
