THE second National Greyhound Draft will be staged at Sandown this Sunday – the most transparent and affordable channel to make your way into first time greyhound ownership.

The process is about as simple as it gets, exactly the way owning a greyhound should be.

Invest in a team, let industry experts do all the work, and just sit back and look forward to watching some superbly bred greyhounds hit the track.

"What we've looked to achieve is remove as many variables as possible," said National Greyhound Draft manager George Farrugia.

"Like everything in life you can't make guarantees but what we have done is put procedures in place to give each and every greyhound the best possible chance of success."

With pups from last year's inaugural draft beginning to do great things, led by the ultra-talented Wallbanger in Victoria and promising Rock Solid in NSW, this Sunday's draft has again dished up some exceptionally bred stock.

"The draft offers new and existing owners the chance to get involved in some superbly bred greyhounds they otherwise couldn't afford," Farrugia added.

"We are warts and all about about everything and the way we keep owners up-to-date. The idea is that the teams share the highs and the lows together. We are fully transparent throughout the whole process."
