Quoted from Wikipedia...

"

The key to the speed of a Greyhound can be found in its light but muscular build, largest heart, and highest percentage of fast-twitch muscle of any breed,[5][6] the double suspension gallop and the extreme flexibility of the spine. "Double suspension rotary gallop" describes the fastest running gait of the Greyhound in which all four feet are free from the ground in two phases, contracted and extended, during each full stride.[7]"

How fast do Italian Greyhounds run?

Iggys definitely look like they're as fast as a car, but their top recorded running speed is much closer to 30. Greyhounds will go about 40 and a thoroughbred horse will run 45. I also have one, and he's practically a blur when he gets moving. Part of that is the fact that you're watching them run against the grass.
