THE FINAL
In an open betting heat, Curley's Fancy II was favourite to gain a Derby success, closely followed by Stout Heart and the bitch Greta Ranee. As the traps opened Curleys and Stout broke together and continued to challenge each other throughout the first 3 bends. Greta Ranee gradually made progress and, as they came round the final bend, she challenged strongly and pipped Curleys by 3/4 length on the line, with Stout just a further 3/4 length back in third. So Greta Ranee became the first bitch to win the Greyhound Derby.
