An incredible 30 greyhounds sold by Greyhound Trader have been entered into the 2024 English Greyhound Derby at Towcester worth £175,000 to the winner!
Accounting for over 15% of the total entries, this is a fantastic achievement for Greyhound Trader who can feel justified with the quality of greyhounds that each vendor is regularly supplying to both the track sales and online auctions.
Gary The Arb (50/1) and Antigua Walt (66/1) are perhaps the pick of the entries but each greyhound is there on merit and it bodes well for the upcoming Greyhoundtrader.com Stakes for 24 greyhounds which will run alongside the Derby from the Quarter-Finals round onwards.
The draw for the 1st round of the English Greyhound Derby is set to take place at Towcester on Friday morning.

There are also a number of greyhounds entered into the Derby which were once offered for sale via Greyhound Trader but failed to find a purchaser.
Slick Sabo (66/1) and Ballymac Gizmo (100/1) are probably the two which will be seen as the biggest “missed opportunities”, but there is plenty of talent on the list below which speaks highly of the online auctions in particular.
