Greyhound racing first took place at the North London Harringay track on 13th September 1927 and was only the second track to be launched in London. At one time in the late 1970's the track was so popular that its meetings were televised on a Saturday afternoon with such prestigious races as the Ladbrokes Golden Jacket Stakes over 600 metres, the Oaks and the Pall Mall Stakes which was won on the first occasion in 1935 by Shove Ha'penny. The track finally closed on 25th September 1987.
