Oh no.. they run quite often. A healthy hound will run his/her ace every 3-4 days.

Each track wil hold a series of "Stakes Races" throughout the racing season. The stakes races are for big money and are usually run over the course of 2-3 weeks.

Take my hound for instance, she ran 53 races. Which isn't a whole lot, but I know of others who have raced well over 150 times and a rare few over 200. f course, to race that many times, the hound has to be an exceptional runner.
