The Cat 1 BGBF British Breeders’ Stakes is to be brought forward to March this year!  Previously held in the autumn, this prestigious competition, run at Nottingham, will this year start on 8 March, with the Final on 22 March, and will be supported by a Cat 3 Sprint for British Breds.

Speaking for the BGBF, chair Liz Mort said: ‘I’m delighted to be able to announce that the Breeders’ Stakes will be starting in a matter of just a few weeks! After the chaos and uncertainty Covid forced on our Calendar last year, it is great to be able to look at the year and plan properly again! We are looking to have a much better spread of competitions in 2121 – although funding is necessarily tight and I would like to thank Arc and Nottingham for their support at this time.’

The Category 1 British Breeders’ Stakes, for British Bred greyhounds born and earmarked in the U.K, will see £6,500 plus trophy and jacket to  the winner, £1000 to the runner up and £250 to the other finalists.
