Thrill of the chase
Dogs, speed and gambling. This potent combination helps to draw fans who come to watch greyhound racing in Santiago every weekend.
As the dogs dash down a straight track of around 220 yards, some can reach up to a little under 50 miles per hour according to organisers. Bets can be anything from $2 to $1,000 on a single race.
