| Greyhound racing has taken place in Birmingham, notably Hall Green and Perry Barr, since 1932. Hall Green hosts the Midland Flat championship over 474 metres and a number of greyhounds from the track have triumphed in the Greyhound Derby, notably those trained in the 1980's by Geoff De Mulder. Perry Barr dates even further back with a meeting held in April 1928. Its principal race is the Birminham Cup which has been run since 1939. | |||||||

In 1999 the Blue Riband Stakes, which had been contested at Wembley since 1981, transferred to Hall Green and the inaugural running was won by Droopys Merson. A full list of results is shown below. |

glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend
