Races ? Are we talking horse racing ? If we are talking greyhounds, It wouldn't matter as you can park in the car park. And take the dog out on a lead for a leak.

I used to take a Labrador, (the racings dog travel mate) to all the tracks in Victoria. Between races used to empty her in the car park. The only time I got ticked off was at Warragul by a steward on night.

I wouldnt until you have learnt to handle a greyhound better. Once that lure starts up they are iron men. I take mine to trials but NEVER to a race meet.

A greyhound that is not racing is not permitted on course, while a race meeting is on. In other words the dog will not be able to spectate. The thing I don't understand is why would you want to take a GAP dog/bitch to the track. No muzzle etc, not wanting to speak out of turn, a race track isn't the place for a GAP greyhound.

How is your greyhound Morgan?
I would like to foster/adopt greyhoundsb when I am older and have a more secure yard. I see them occasionally at the dogs home and they are lovely!

Generally speaking, you probably wouldn't be allowed (unless you were attending as part of a promotion for GAP).
Speaking from experience, it probably isn't a good idea anyway unless you are very familiar with the dog and know how to handle it. Even dogs that have been retired for several years will still get very worked up (and difficult to handle) by the sound of the lure.
If your dog someone got away from you (and got to the track), you could expect a fair amount of trouble from the stewards
