SOUTHLAND - Round 2 of RAZORBACK CLASSIC STAKES is in the books

Highlighting Friday's greyhound racing action at Southland was the running of Round 2 of the 2016 RAZORBACK CLASSIC STAKES competition. While the favorites had another good round of stakes racing, there were several longshots who brought home a win. In fact, in the first race there was a 39 to 1 shot who pulled the huge upset and race 5 had a 16 to 1 surprising winner. The favorites did win their share however and with 3 more rounds to go to declare a champion, the remainder of this Razorback Classic stakes competition should be one heck of a paw to paw battle.  As I have said many times before, with all the many talented and strong running greyhounds at Southland it makes getting a win hard to do. When you add in a tough stakes completion, it's even harder. That being said, upsets happen all the time and while it's tougher in a stakes race I don't think we have seen the end of the big upsets in this tournament. Good luck to all the greyhounds the rest of the tournament. I have listed below my original picks and their Thanks for reading and best of luck with your wagering opportunities.
