Following on from their sponsored Sunderland Festival, bookmakers William Hill are back in the North East as this year’s All England Cup gets under way at Newcastle Greyhound Stadium on Saturday, October 1st.
The opening night features the first round heats of the £10,000
williamhill.com All England Cup and the £8,000 williamhill.com Northern Puppy Derby, with the action building up to the glittering finals evening, also featuring the williamhill.com Angel Of The North Oaks and williamhill.com Great North Run, taking place on Wednesday 12th October – shown LIVE on Sky Sports.
The competition has once again attracted a strong entry, with top local trainers joining champion handlers from across the country all bidding to compete for some of UK's most valuable races.
Three of the four 8-1 co-favourites with the sponsors for the William Hill All England Cup - Blue Artisan, Droopys Hester and Mill Bling Bling – are locally-trained and will be bidding to keep the trophy on home turf following Kelly Macari’s 2010 victory with Mill Pinpoint.
williamhill.com Derby hero Taylors Cruise is next in the betting at 10-1 with Steve and Becky Taylor gunning for another of greyhound racing’s top prizes.
Punters can enjoy a night at Newcastle Stadium for as little as ten pounds per head - the Trackside Restaurant option buys an all-inclusive evening at the North East’s premier venue, which comprises of admission, welcome drink, racecard, three-course meal, and a mobile Tote betting facility - so you don’t even have to move if you fancy a flutter!
Seats are limited so we recommend early bookings to take advantage of this offer.
Free entry tickets for the live finals night – to include a drink and pie and pea supper - are available from local William Hill betting shops.
