SOUTHLAND Preview - Saturday, September 10 - FESTIVAL OF STAKES Underway

This weekend at Southland brings us the start of the always exciting and very entertaining 2016 Southland Festival Of Stakes competition as Round 1 begins Friday, September 9. I had thought it started Sunday but stand corrected. This is always one of the most anticipated stakes contest in the country and this year will be no exception. Friday evening's racing will be highlighted by the running of 20 stakes races for this year's FESTIVAL OF STAKES competition. I have listed below the dates and the 9 different divisions that will comprise the 2016 Festival Of Stakes and I will have updates before each round and recaps as well as the competition moves along. I will also give you my selections for champions of each division as well as the 8 greyhounds to make the finals in each of the divisions. The Championship and Consolation Finals will be run on October 1 so that gives us greyhound fans across the nation 3 weeks of very competitive and challenging racing so be sure to check in on a regular basis. This will be a barnburner of a battle as these talented greyhounds go paw to paw for the right to be crowned one of the Festival Of Stakes champions. Remember that BetAmerica is your one stop wagering and racing information site that will gladly assist you in any way should you have any questions so please feel free to contact them. Best of luck to each of you in your wagering

opportunities and thanks for reading.
