The Puppy Derby

The Puppy Derby is a greyhound competition held at Wimbledon Stadium since 1929. [1] [2]

Other Puppy Derby races have been created by other race tracks including the Midland Puppy Derby and despite some of these races matching or surpassing the original Puppy Derby for prize money they do not carry the same prestige. [3] The competition came to an end at Wimbledon after the 2016 running and awaits a new home.[4]
