| Located on the Hereson Road in Dumpton Park, Ramsgate Greyhound Stadium first held a race meeting on 26th May 1928. The venue was very popular and racing traditionally took place each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The regular distances of the races were 450 metres standard distance, right up to an extended marathon over 1045 metres. | |||||||

The principal races at the track were the Thanet Gold Cup over 450 metres and contested each October, and the Autumn Trophy over 640 metres. |

the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of
glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend
