The Williamhill.com
Greyhound Derby
Wimbledon Stadium 2012
The greatest Greyhound race of the year is back and this time it’s bigger than ever!
The top Greyhounds from all across the UK and Europe now compete for the first prize of £125,000 to the winner!
Four bends and a time of under thirty seconds will decide who is the champion, but before the final becomes a reality there are five rounds of action over five weeks to contend with.
This becomes not only a race of speed, but also stamina.
The entries for the race have closed and there were a total of 132 runners vying for the title!
Take a look at our 4 to follow for the competition
- Taylors Sky - Last years Champion looking to do the double
- Razldazl Jayfkay - Consistent 28.30 dog and reliable runner
- Bubbly Phoenix - Impressive Trial Times already clocking a 28.33 for the 4 bends
- Boher Paddy - Beat Razdazl Jayfkay previously on the Racing Post Juvenile night - plenty of potential
