The first greyhound meeting to be held at Clapton was on 7th April 1928. By this time London already could boast of 3 other greyhound circuits. It was a very fast, circular course and was ideal for hosting the Scurry Gold Cup over the sprint distance of 400 yards, and event which was first run in 1928. Despite being a very popular track it suffered takeover bids and shut its doors for the final time on 1st January 1974.
