A lot of people who have been into greyhound racing and betting were surprised last week by the news about the ever famous Tony Morris finally deciding to retire from his pitches at Crayford and Wimbledon. The fine Morris, at some point, felt that the time has come for him to retire from his well-loved pitches.

Night of Tuesday, Morris was represented for the last time during the William Hill Oaks final. Thus proving he will really retire from the pitches he has really cared for. That night was truly his closing night at Crayford.

Father of Morris, Ike Morris, was the founder of the business. But then, his contributions to it were undoubtedly inconsiderable. He helped improved the pitch at Crayford 59 years ago when he was still a lad at age 13. While in Wimbledon, he stood right in front of all the works that need to be done 25 years ago, ending up being there when the White City closed.

Some have tried to get some words from Morris about his retirement from the pitches at Crayford and Wimbledon. But he said he deliberately don’t prefer to make afuss over what everyone will regard as a true end of an era and instead just explained that now it could be high time for him to retire and that he just wished both Crayford and Wimbledon tracks, all of his customers, and even greyhound owners and trainers all the best.

Now it is confirmed that Morris will be out the tracks. But of course, he will still continue to follow everything as long as about greyhound racing and tracks. Outside the tracks, he will still support every greyhound racing event and even will extend some help if necessary. He has been into greyhound racing for decades, he won’t ever forget it for sure.
