A native of Butte, Mt., Gary Guccione was introduced to
Greyhound racing in his youth, working as a paddock
helper and assistant in his father’s kennel at the old
Butte track in the 1950s. During his education at the
School of Journalism, University Of Montana, he worked
summers in a variety of capacities—including chartwriter,
publicity director and associate judge—at the Black
Hills Track in Rapid City, S.D. In 1971, he joined the
staff at the National Greyhound Association in Abilene,
Ks., serving as assistant secretary and managing editor
of the Greyhound Review. In 1982, he was
appointed NGA secretary-treasurer, Keeper of the Stud
Book, executive director and executive editor of the
Greyhound Review. He has served on a variety of
industry committees, including the Greyhound Hall Of
Fame Board of Directors, the Hall Of Fame Selection
Committee, the Race Track Industry Program’s Advisory
Committee and the American Greyhound Council, Inc.,
which he also currently serves as its coordinator. He
has authored hundreds of articles on Greyhound
bloodlines, culminating in the publication of seven
books on the subject. In 2007, he was presented the Joan
Dillon-GPA Founders Award of Adoption Excellence from
Greyhound Pets of America, the largest Greyhound pet
adoption organization in the world. He resides with his
wife Terri in Abilene with the last of their seven
children. They have nine grandchildren.
