EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, a group of racing greyhounds eagerly await their luxurious journey in the newly introduced conveyance of the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA). The innovative transport solution was designed to provide the best possible travel experience for these beloved canine athletes, ensuring their comfort and well-being as they were transported from the GRA's prestigious kennels at Northaw, near Potters Bar. The image showcases a line of greyhounds, each one displaying their unique coat patterns and expressions, as they prepare to board the spacious and well-ventilated vehicle. The greyhounds' keepers are seen assisting them, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition into the new transport. This remarkable conveyance was built on a robust Ford chassis, which provided the necessary strength and reliability for the long journeys. The cars were specifically adapted for the transportation of greyhounds, featuring large, comfortable interiors with ample space for the dogs to move around. The vehicles were also equipped with ventilation systems to keep the greyhounds cool and comfortable during their travels. The introduction of these luxurious transport cars marked a significant milestone in the history of greyhound racing, as it demonstrated the Association's commitment to the welfare and well-being of its canine athletes. This photograph serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of those involved in the sport, who went above and beyond to ensure the greyhounds' comfort and happiness both on and off the track.
