East Anglian Derby (greyhounds)
The East Anglian Derby is a greyhound competition held at Yarmouth Stadium.[1] It was first run under NGRC (National Greyhound Racing Club) rules in 1975 and is worth £15,000 to the winner today.[2] The prize money level paid today rates the competition as one of the major races on the greyhound calendar. Only the four national derbys - English Greyhound Derby, Scottish Greyhound Derby, Northern Irish Derby, Irish Greyhound Derby and the William Hill Classic pay more.
