Hello all.
This is my first post, so I hope I do it right.

In July of this year 2008 I purchased a greyhound from a fellow in the Leeton (NSW) area. The dog has had 12 starts for 1 win and 4 placings when I got him. He was broken down in 7 places with his hip being the worsed affected. After 6 weeks on the leed I slipped him up the straight at Appin 274mtrs. He pulled up ok. 5 days later I trialed him at the same place and distance and he ran 16.5. Again he pulled up ok.
10 days later I trialed him at Glengarry over the 400 and he ran 24.35.
9 days later I raced him at Richmond over the 400 and he finished 5th in 23.30 beaten 6lths. Another 9 days later he raced at Bulli over 515 and he finished 4th in 29.35 beaten 2 lths.
Now here is my questions.
1. Am I running him too much? ( He has been off the lead 9 times since I've had him.)
2. Are those times at those tracks any good?

He is nearly 3 years old.
He weighs 32.5 klg.
I exersise him 20 minutes walking twice a day.

I would appreciate some advise.

Thankyou
