SOUTHLAND preview - January 4

January 3rd, 2016

Welcome to another year of exciting and always entertaining greyhound racing at Southland Park. As always, this 2016 season should be full of outstanding and highly competitive racing as some of the best greyhounds anywhere in the county are racing here. There have been a couple of noteworthy program changes as Monday (except holidays) will join Tuesday as dark days with no live greyhound racing. In conjunction with that move, there will now be a Friday matinee added to the weekly schedule to replace Monday's performance. The week's live racing schedule this season is listed below as well as the stakes competition.

Monday - dark - no live racing - simulcast wagering only Tuesday - dark - no live racing - simulcast wagering only Wednesday twilight - 4 pm start time - these are all Central Standard times Thursday twilight - 4 pm start time Friday matinee - 1 pm start time Friday evening - 7:30 pm start time Saturday matinee - 1 pm start time Saturday evening -7:30 start time Sunday matinee- 4 pm start time
