![]() Meet Drake.
He is a retired greyhound. He raced 31 times at Raynham / Tauton winning 3 times during 2007 and then in 2008 raced 12 times at Birmingham Racecourse winning once. http://www.billtheobaldphotography.c...07948695_N9nVh

![]() First of thanks for all of your kind words. Drake is adjustuing well to living in a house and being pampered. He is learning to go up and down stairsa nd has almost mastered. He is also getting the hang of not doing "his business" in the house (fingers crossed).
I looked up his race record and it got me thinking who was faster him or my horse. So I did the follwoing quick calculations and was shocked to see that he was faster than my horse. Is that possible? Furlongs Yards Feet TimeFeet / SecondMPH 550 1,650 31.0853.0936.208.5 1,870 5,610 108.851.5635.16 Granted the her one win was on a soft turf course in April of this year but she did earn a beyer of 64. I was floored by this did I mess up the calculation?
