Greyhound racing has a contentious history in New South Wales—2017 was not the first time that its existence was threatened, and it probably won’t be the last. Now, for the first time, a comprehensive history of the sport has been collected, deftly charting the highs and lows from coursing and tin-hare racing all the way through to the current controversies.

This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in “the sport of the people”.
