If an unraced dog is over a certain age , possibly 27 or 30 months, I think they can run in an " ordinary " race, but it must be at least an A5.Hopefully some one can come on and verify that for you.

Age Limit of greyhounds in Novice Events: - Premium Events (ON1) No age limit - ON2 and ON3 Events Age limit of 27 months (at time of draw) Unraced greyhounds above 27 months will have to enter the following Premium Unraced Events (where sweepstake conditions permit) or enter the main racing pool. PREMIUM UNRACED EVENTS - Winners Prize ≥ 6000 Open Unraced 525 Yards Stake - Clonmel Gallivan-Murphy-Hooper-Dolan Juvenile Unraced Classic Tralee Red Mills and NTSC Unraced Bitch Stake Newbridge Red Mills Easter Unraced Open Unraced Stake Enniscorthy Red Mills Champion Open Unraced Stake Kilkenny Red Mills Unraced 525 Stake Cork Red Mills Future Champion Unraced Stake Enniscorthy When entering the main racing pool with raced greyhounds, such Novice greyhounds will be graded in on the best trial time achieved or its equivalent distance over the 525yards. These Novice Greyhounds will not be afforded a grade allowance when placed for racing with racing greyhounds, as was the case with the previous structure for racing Novice greyhounds. For example, a 28 month old novice with an A1 trial time is only be eligible for competing in an A1 Race (or its equivalent over the Sprint distance if applicable). The least grade that any such novice is permitted to race in is A5 or its equivalent over the Sprint distance. For example, a 28 month old novice with an A8 trial time is required to compete in an A5 Race (or its equivalent over the Sprint distance if applicable).
