Juvenile (greyhounds)
The Juvenile is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Wimbledon Stadium.[1]
It was inaugurated in 1957 when known as the Greyhound Express Merit Puppy Trophy but in 1964 it was renamed the Juvenile. The event is an invitation competition for the best six greyhounds who still have a puppy status. [2] [3]
