How to Determine the Grade of Dogs in Greyhound Racing

The Greyhound Racing Association of America dictates the standards for greyhound racing in the U.S. For each race the dogs receive a racing grade by the Racing Secretary. The association bases the grades on the dog's previous racing history. Each win raises the dog's grade and dogs that consistently lose races will have their grade lowered. Of the seven grades, Grade AA is the highest, while M represents a "maiden" dog just starting its racing career.
