Mysty.

This beautiful calm girl is on her holiday for the weekend. She is 11 years old now and retired from racing a few years ago.

The Greyhound is a gentle and intelligent breed whose combination of long, powerful legs, and slim build allows it to reach average race speeds in excess of 64 kilometres per hour (40 mph). They can reach a full speed of 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) within 30 metres or six strides from the boxes, traveling at almost 20 metres per second for the first 250 metres of a race. There are few mammals that can accelerate faster over a short distance, such as the cheetah which can reach speeds of 109 kilometres per hour (68 mph) over 3-4 strides from a standing start.
