Is greyhound racing rounding the final bend?

Next year will be the centenary of the opening of the world’s first commercial greyhound racing track, built in Emeryville, California. At the time, the town, wedged between Berkeley and Oakland, was a haven for gambling dens, speakeasies and brothels and thus it was thought a greyhound circuit would fit snugly.
