NOTABLE PAST WINNERS AT RICHMOND
Richmond might not quite hold the same honour roll as some of other more prestigious tracks over the country, but the track has still produced superstars over the years. Arguably the most famous Greyhound to win at Richmond is Feral Franky - a winner of 24 races and a greyhound who missed a placing only twice in his 44 career starts. Feral Franky won several races at Richmond to go along with his Group success elsewhere.
RICHMOND BOX STATISTICS
Over the years, Box 1 has proven to be by far the most successful trap for greyhounds racing at Richmond, most likely due to the narrow circumference of the track. The box has generally performed between 18-22% strike rate in recent years. Despite the narrow circumference, the rest of the boxes have played relatively even, with no discernable difference between Boxes 2 through 7. Winning % by Box Number
