Ex racers will not normally know what to do when they catch something. When they were younger our hounds would chase squirrels etc but would just look at them when they caught them with a wtf, that never happens expression.
Greyhounds and lurchers that have been trained to course (ie hunt) are obviously a different matter.I would certainly adivise keeping a greyhound on a lead until you are very sure of what they will do (and that they will come back....) We didn't let ours off until we had them over a year, and still only let them off in enclosed fields.
@Colm89 did you get her from a sighthound rescue? If not there may be a few things that are specific to greyhounds you should be aware of.

Retired greyhounds sometimes find it difficult to not chase (and kill) little dogs, in my experience.
