Date for Produce Stakes is set

Towcester and the British Greyhound Breeders Forum (BGBF) have confirmed that the final of this year's BGBF Two Year Old Produce Stakes, the 80th running of the famous event, will be staged on Sunday, September 20. 


The British-bred showcase is being hosted by the Northamptonshire circuit for the first time after the closure of Swindon - and Danny Rayment, Towcester RM, is looking forward to overseeing his first Produce Stakes, following on from the English Derby. 


"It's definitely a year of firsts in that respect but we're looking forward to it and will be confirming the finer details of the event in due course," he said. 


"However, what I can say is that the final will be taking place on September 20 and will be a major part of our Sunday open-race meetings."


Last year's Produce Stakes was won by the Angie Kibble-trained Eagles Respect from Romeo Ability with the field also including the likes of Izzys Tenpin and Malcolm Bosh. 


The Betway Towcester Racecourse will become just the third track to host the Produce Stakes after Bristol and Swindon.
