Southland Quarterfinals Recap

An amazing 3rd round of stakes racing is in the books at the Southland track as the quarterfinals of the 2016 Southland "Hound Madness Stakes" were run on Wednesday, March 16. There were 64 talented and hard running greyhounds entered in this tremendously exciting stakes event and after Wednesday's twilight quarterfinals, the field has now been reduced to 8. Back at the start of this stakes contest, I had selected 8 greyhounds who I thought had the best chances to make the quarterfinals and I also selected who I thought would be the eventual champion along with a greyhound to keep an eye on during the contest. I always do this before the different stakes racing starts as I like to follow my picks thru the rounds to see how I do. These selections are listed below and I will continue to update this stakes competition during each round. I did have 4 of the 8 picks make the quarterfinals as well as my pick to win it all and my pick to keep an eye. After Wednesday's results from the Sweet Sixteen round I have just one pick remaining in the final eight and that is my pick to keep an eye on as Amf Sleekstrangr was the only one able to advance. The next round of the 2016 HOUND MADNESS STAKES will be on Sunday, March 20. Always remember that BETAMERICA is just a click away for your wagering opportunities or for any questions or comments you may have. Thanks for reading and good luck.
