Round 3 of the $20,000 IRON DOG CHALLENGE Highlights Friday's Greyhound Program at SOUTHLAND

Friday's evening greyhound racing card at Southland will be highlighted by the running of Round 3 of the $20,000 IRON DOG CHALLENGE Stakes. If the previous rounds are any indication, this race will once again provide high drama and excitement as the greyhounds go paw to paw in their quest for the top seed. The points leader after this race will get to choose the distance at which the Finals will be run. Right now XKT JON SCHNABEL claims the top spot due to his impressive wins in Round 1 and Round 2 and will try to make it three in a row against a very competitive field. I have listed the runners with their finishes in the previous rounds along with their post positions for this race. The finals are set for Friday, February 24 so be sure not to miss it. Good luck to all the greyhounds and their owners, kennels and other connections.
