Charlie Blanning on 100 Years of British Racing
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Episode 53: Recorded April 11, 2026</h3> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>“Not only did you have the working class, if you like, after work, but also you had Lord this and Lady that in the club having dinner in black tie, and of course everyone else was milling around at the stadium having a bet. So it suited everyone.”</p> <p><cite>Charlie Blanning, author and historian, on the class-crossing nature of the sport during the British Golden Age of racing</cite></p></blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Show Notes</h3> <p>Traditional anniversaries have gift recommendations up to the 60th — the diamond anniversary — but what do you give for a 100th? In the case of British Greyhound racing, you sit down with the sport’s foremost historian — author Charlie Blanning — and trace a century of the sport from its improbable American origins to the grandeur of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_City_Greyhounds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">White City</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Greyhounds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wembley</a>.</p> <p>Charlie’s book — <a href="https://www.facebook.com/greyhoundandhare" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Please Mister: The Golden Age of Greyhound Racing</a> — serves as a starting point in the story of British Greyhound racing, chronicling how <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyhound_racing#History" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Owen Patrick “O.P.” Smith’s</a> oval track concept crossed the Atlantic. In the summer of 1926, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Vue_Stadium" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rainy Manchester served as the venue for the sport’s first English race</a>. It would grow into a sport that drew crowds of over 100,000 to a single Greyhound Derby final.</p> <p>In this episode, host John Parker sits down with Charlie to discuss the founding figures behind British Greyhound racing, Golden Age hounds and trainers, and the rise of high-society track culture at White City and Wembley. Charlie also shares his candid views on the sport’s precarious future.</p> <p>“When the sport goes, the breed will go with it.”</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Links</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/greyhoundandhare" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Greyhound and the Hare</a> (Facebook)</li> <li><a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114560358630" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Please Mister: The Golden Age of Greyhound Racing</a> (eBay UK)</li> </ul>

Dr. Mike Guilliard: A Surgical Solution for Greyhound Corns
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Episode 52: Recorded December 28, 2025</h3> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>“We take these dogs out of pain. They’re miserable. We get them back to normal happy dogs.”</p> <p><cite>Dr. Mike Guilliard on the impact of Greyhound corn surgery</cite></p></blockquote> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Show Notes</h3> <p>If your Greyhound has every suddenly and mysteriously gone lame — unable to walk or lifting a paw — there’s a good chance it’s due to a corn in their one of their pads. These keratinous growths are often misdiagnosed, leaving a Greyhound or other sighthound breed in pain and discomfort when walking on a firm surface.</p> <p>Enter English veterinary surgeon and Greyhound corn specialist, Dr. Mike Guilliard. Since earning his veterinary degree from the University of Cambridge Veterinary School in 1972, Dr. Guilliard has spent over 50 years in surgical practice and consultation. Early in his career, his senior partner owned a Greyhound, and Dr. Guilliard found himself studying the anatomy and orthopedics of the Greyhound. He has authored research papers and developed orthopedic treatments for many athletic dog ailments, but none may be more beneficial to Greyhounds and sighthounds than his surgical techniques for treating corns.</p> <p>In this episode, host John Parker sits down with Dr. Guilliard to discuss the tendonectomy or tenotomy and its impact on Greyhound and sighthound health and happiness over the years. Dr. Guilliard shares his <a href="https://nittanygreys.org/gig-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025 Greyhounds in Gettysburg</a> presentation on the topic, offering viewers and listeners a deep dive into the development of a welcome solution for lameness and discomfort for so many breeds.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Links</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.mikeguilliard.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr. Mike Guilliard Orthopaedics Ltd</a> (Website)</li> <li><a href="https://www.veterinarypracticenews.ca/tendonectomy-offers-relief-for-chronic-corns-in-sighthounds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Veterinary Practice News, Canada</a> (Article)</li> <li><a href="https://cdn.greyhoundnation.dog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/greyhound-nation-episode-52-presentation-doctor-mike-guilliard.pdf">2025 Greyhounds in Gettysburg Presentation</a> (PDF)</li> </ul>
