Today’s afternoon meeting has been cancelled. The welfare of our greyhounds always comes first and with forecasts predicting record high temperatures we have taken the decision to cancel.
Rehoming success ⭐️🐶
The Sheffield Retired Greyhounds have re-homed a dog with the well-known singer Russell Watson! Axel the greyhound is a good-natured boy who loves cuddles. He has fitted right into his forever home ❤️

RACING UPDATE - FRIDAY 1ST FEB - 12:00PM
Thanks to the hard work of our Groundstaff paths around the Stadium are clear and the track is looking in good shape for tonight. We are still monitoring the forecast however everything looks OK for tonight's meeting.

Jez I suggest you check out the social media feed before accusing us. Racing was cancelled at 9am this morning welfare is and always will be at the forefront of our decision making. Suggesting ‘doggie deaths’ is an appalling thing to say.
Throughout January, we will be holding a donation drop off at the Stadium reception to help raise funds for the Sheffield Retired Greyhounds!🧸🚀
Simply drop by during our open hours to hand in any donations - big or small!
Any donations are deeply appreciated! 😃
