Guys and Dolls (greyhounds)
The Guys and Dolls is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Crayford Stadium. [1]
The competition was inaugurated at Harringay Stadium and was unusual in the fact that the heats consisted of separate races for bitches and dogs with heat winners qualifying for the mixed final. [2] Following the closure of Harringay in 1987 the event switched to Crayford and was run until 2008 before being discontinued. In 2015 the race was brought back alongside the Gold Collar.[3]
