History

The event was inaugurated in 1947, when the stadium ran under independent rules. It continued to be a major race on the independent calendar before the stadium switched to National Greyhound Racing Club status.[2] It was first run under NGRC rules in 1975 and is worth £15,000 to the winner today.[3][4]

Charlie Lister OBE has won the event a record twelve times.[5]
