When did Milton Keynes dog track close?

Also, was it an ngrc registered track? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reason for asking: The rescue that I got my greyhound from told me that he was found as a stray. I traced his history through his ear tattoo and found he used to race at the MK dog track, and his last recorded race was not long before he was picked up as a stray. I know many dogs are discarded by the racing industry when they are no longer considered good enough, but what seems strange to me is that he WON his last race. We've had the dog a while now and he's showing no obvious sign of injury, so I was wondering why he'd been thrown out (and if the date of the track's closure coincided with him being dumped). I'm not from MK, so would appreciate info from anyone with local knowledge. Thanks.

1. When the Milton Keynes Dog was too tight.
2. no info on the main site... i'll get back to you it appears to of closed at the end of 2005, i can't find a date well done for saving a greyhound, they are lovely gentle animals... pat on the back for you
3. Yes I was amazed to find It being built on when I passed it yesterday,I know they used to hold car boot sails there,but there hasn't been any for about 5 years,so I would estimate It to have closed about that time give or take a year either way
