Greyhound races are typically run anticlockwise due to the natural tendency of dogs to turn left more easily than right. This direction minimizes the risk of injury during sharp turns and allows for smoother racing. Additionally, most racetracks are designed with this orientation to maintain consistency and safety across races. This practice also aligns with traditional horse racing, which often follows the same anticlockwise format.
