Doubt about the year as racing here didn't officially start until 1927.

Was that whippet racing in the film, clayfield?
I should have realised that but failed to notice. Thanks for putting me right though. |

Notes on the film say greyhounds............
M/S Track side. Flat capped trainers and owners prepare their greyhounds for the off. The dogs are being held at the start line. There is a puff of smoke from the starting pistol and the race begins. All the dogs race away. |

Just watched it again a couple of times, these are whippets 100% look at the size of the dogs when they are being held at the start, only about up to the men's knees. As I said whippet racing was going a good few years before greyhound track racing started in this country.

Yes clayfield and the year would seem to give it away although I thought at first with the handslip start it might have been an early unlicensed event.
