The Pall Mall Stakes is a prestigious greyhound racing competition held at Oxford Stadium. [1] The event is classified as a category one race. [2]
The competition was run at Harringay Stadium from 1935 until 1987 and was originally regarded as the Winter Derby. [3] The event moved to Oxford Stadium in 1988. [4] [5]
At Oxford from 1988 until its closure in 2012, it was held during the month of March and was considered to be a good guide for the upcoming English Greyhound Derby because it attracted many Derby prospects. However, in 2023 the event returned following the re-opening of the stadium. [1] [6]
