Review for Birmingham Greyhound Racing Review For Birmingham Greyhound Racing Google User Sep 23 '13 at 17:58 I was a student at Samford University 89-92. We loved being able to have this venue as something to do on slow weekends (hard to compete against the Iron bowl. The horses (thoroughbreds) were beatiful. I think if it comes back they should also have a 1/4 mile track to bring back the real southern racing with quarter horses. The two would not have to compete... if races were done on different weekends... who knows- if it catches on; they could add on another straight quarter mile field with the new synthetic surface reducing injuries. Lets get on board to bring horse racing back to B'ham! View full site to comment or like
