The British Bred Produce Stakes is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Swindon Stadium.[1] [2]

History

It was inaugurated in 1946 at Eastville Stadium in Bristol when it was known as the Western Two-Year Old Stakes.[3] [4] The following year it was renamed the Western Two-Year Old Produce Stakes in order to distinguish the event as a produce event (restricted to puppies from specifically Wales and the West).[5]

The competition was later extended to all regions but remained a puppy event. Following the closure of Bristol in 1997 it switched to sister track Swindon. The event today is open to British Bred greyhounds only.[6] After 2019 the competition will be held on the revamped Swindon circuit.[7]
