The biggest Greyhound event ever, ‘Greyhound 2000, A Millennium Celebration’, will take place in Newmarket from 10-14 December.
Greyhound 2000 will bring together showing, racing and coursing and includes:
The first 128-dog coursing stake for more than 100 years.
A full day’s pedigree greyhound showing, including the first ever Champion Greyhound of the Year competition,
An evening’s track racing at nearby Mildenhall,
An exhibition of famous greyhounds and their associated memorabilia dating back into the 19th century.
