After weeks of build-up, the Star Sports/TRC English Greyhound Derby begins at Towcester on Thursday with the first of three nights of first-round action across Friday and Saturday also.
Ten heats will be staged on Thursday and 11 apiece on Friday and Saturday,
This year’s Star Sports/TRC English Greyhound Derby has been the most talked about in years and today we can bring you news of how this year’s competition has just got even better!
To celebrate the 2025 Star Sports/TRC English Greyhound Derby, all named Owners with greyhounds running on the night of any round of the competition will receive four General Admission tickets free of charge – excluding final night – by email.
In a change to previous years, Owners will NOT gain entry at the gate without having a valid ticket and all Owners with greyhounds running on the night will be allocated parking in the main car park only at Towcester Racecourse.
All named Owners (whether part-owner or full) of greyhounds running at any meeting where a Derby heat is taking place will receive FOUR tickets free of charge. This includes Owners associated with both graded runners and supporting open races on the night.
For syndicate-owned greyhounds, up to ten complimentary General Admission tickets will be issued by email.
If any other tickets are required for Owners’ guests, there will be a 50 per cent discount off the full General Admission ticket price using a discount code per owner (limited to ten tickets) for that meeting.
Please email derby2025@greyhoundracinguk.com for your discount code.
All GBGB licence holders, including Trainers, Kennelhands and Officials, will also receive two General Admission tickets free of charge for every round (excluding Derby final night) regardless of whether they have an associated runner at the meeting.
To receive tickets, GBGB licence holders must email derby2025@greyhoundracinguk.com, providing a photo of their current and valid GBGB licence. Two free tickets will then be emailed out.
GBGB Licence holders accompanying greyhounds running that night will use the Trainers’ entrance where their licence will be checked and they will be given access to the Trainers’ car park.
Parking for everyone else will be in the main car park.
