Big dog meetings set for Owlerton - plus cards for Friday and Saturday, January 22&23

Yorkshire’s premier race track has announced dates for the prestigious Pinpoint 3 Steps to Victory and BresMed Northern Sprint race meetings, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The Pinpoint 3 Steps to Victory, which is one of the biggest events in the racing calendar, will return to Owlerton in Aprilwith the country’s top greyhounds competing in heats over 480m and semi-finals over 500m with the top dogs making the final over 660m on 5 April where they will be in with a chance of securing the £10,000 winners’ prize.

It will be followed on 26 April by the BresMed Northern Sprint - a popular race which was revived in 2015 as part of the inaugural three-week BresMed Festival at Owlerton.

The heats and semi-finals will be held at Owlerton ahead of the BresMed Northern Sprint final where trainers will be vying for the winner’s prize of £8,000.

In addition to the Sky nights, Owlerton will be staging the Queen Mother Memorial Cup on Sunday 6 March as part of its Mother’s Day celebrations.

The popular race began life as the Queen Mother Cup in 1998 but, when the Queen Mother passed away in 2002, the stadium then began staging it in her honour as the Queen Mother Memorial Cup in 2003.

The Cheltenham Festival of Racing returns on Thursday 17 March when Owlerton will be holding its annual race meeting - a morning of live greyhound racing followed by an afternoon of horse racing streamed live from Cheltenham.
