However the totalisator ban enforced by the government was impacting profits with 17,000 jobs affected. The situation did not deter new tracks opening, with at least 28 known tracks starting racing during 1933.Genders Roy The Greyhound and Racing Greyhound 1975 Page Brothers (Norwich) 0-85020-0474 Future Cutlet won the 1933 English Greyhound Derby before being retired, his owner Mr Evershed set up a trust fund for the champion so that he would live in luxury for the rest of his life.http://www.gbgb.org.uk/hall-of-fame.aspx?id=4 Hall of Fame Greyhound Board of Great Britain Tracks London remained the main focus point for racing with Walthamstow Stadium, New Cross Stadium, Wandsworth Stadium and Stamford Bridge joining the tracks already operating.Culpepper Clarke Carlo F Greyhound and Greyhound Racing 1934 Methuen & Co Ltd (London)Tarter P Howard Greyhound Racing Encyclopedia 1949 Fleet Publishing Company Ltd A small flapping track (independent) called the Crooked Billet Greyhound & Whippet track was bought by William Chandler who then went about building Walthamstow.Genders Roy The Encyclopedia of Greyhound Racing 1981 Pelham Books Ltd 07207-1106-1 Wandsworth stadium cost £100,000 to build and seated 20,000 and New Cross could accommodate 25,000 people but was only an independent track at this stage. Stamford Bridge was capable of holding 100,000 spectators and was home to Chelsea F.C.; the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) controlled the Stamford Bridge racing with the track's supply of runners coming from the GRA kennels at the Hook Estate in Northaw. The availability of a venue for greyhound racing did not seem to be a problem and included Thorpe Greyhound Track (an ice skating rink in the winter)http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/map-record?UID=MNF58042&BBOX=625113,308212,625419,308359&CRS=EPSG:27700&count=1&ck_MON1=true&ck_MON=false Track location Norfolk Heritage Explorer and Derby Greyhound Stadium (a former prison).Tarter P Howard Greyhound Racing Encyclopedia 58 1949 Fleet Publishing Company Ltd Tracks opened DateStadium/TrackLocationRef4 January Wakefield Greyhound Stadium Wakefield 12 January Owlerton Stadium Sheffield25 February Seaforth Greyhound Stadium Liverpool ?

The Derby champion Wild Woolley back with Jack Rimmer, added this new event to his successes. A second major event was introduced in Scotland at Powderhall Stadium called the Edinburgh Cup.Barnes Julia Daily Mirror Greyhound Fact File, Vol Two 1991 Ringpress Books 0-948955-61-9Barnes/Sellers Julia/John Ladbrokes Greyhound Fact File, pages 142-143 1992 Ringpress Books 0-948955-22-8 Beef Cutlet easily defeated his rivals during the Welsh Greyhound Derby final at White City Stadium, Cardiff in a time of 29.56 seconds, before Long Hop failed to defend his Grand National title, following a short head defeat to Scapegoat. Three weeks after the Derby, Beef Cutlet surprisingly lost to Elsell in the Cesarewitch final but made amends in the Record Stakes at Wimbledon winning the race against four of the best dogs in training, Future Cutlet, Goofy Gear, Brave Enough and Failing. A new star called Creamery Border came to prominence when winning the Scurry Gold Cup, he was put with Arthur 'Doc' Callanan who was now a trainer at Wembley and had nursed the dog back to health in 1931. This was his first track event in England and went unbeaten throughout the competition. Winning his heat and semi-final, he went on to win the final by six lengths in a track record time, from Chesterfield Jewel, with the Oaks winner Queen of the Suir behind them. The Laurels went to Wild Woolley, trained by Jimmy Campbell once again; Queen of the Suir made the Laurels final before successfully defending her Oaks title for trainer Stanley Biss one month later. Creamery Border went lame and failed to finish in the semi-finals of the Laurels. Ireland In Ireland the owners of Harold's Cross Stadium were left angered when Shelbourne Park was once again handed the Irish Greyhound Derby. Mr Tynan representing the track had pointed out that the previous year Paddy O'Donoghue had promised that they could hold the event in 1933. Irish Coursing Club chairman John Bruton explained that they could not cancel a ruling by the club that had already made. Tynan stormed out of a meeting with Harold's Cross refusing to run any classic competitions or their qualifying races and threatened to run their own Irish Championship.Fortune Michael Irish Greyhound Derby 1932-1981 Victory Irish Promotions LtdFortune Michael The 75 Years History of the Irish Greyhound Derby Irish Greyhound Review 0332-3536 Brilliant Bob, a May 1931 whelp, by Other Days out of Birchfield Bessie was bred in County Tipperary by Billy Quinn, and he sold a half share to an Irish farmer. The dog came into prominence as a puppy, when he won Ireland's oldest coursing event, the Tipperary Cup. When he was introduced to track racing the brindle-fawn dog finished runner-up in the Easter Cup and then won the St Leger at Clonmel Greyhound Stadium over 550 yards in 31.53.Comyn John 50 Years of Greyhound Racing in Ireland Aherlow Publishers Ltd Principal UK races Gold Collar, Catford (May 20, 400y, £1,000)PosName of GreyhoundTrainerSP Time (sec)Trap 1stWild Woolley Jack Rimmer 1-3f 26.63 42ndDeemster Mike Fred Livesly 3-1 26.71 13rdDoctor Gray Arthur Doc Callanan 25-1 26.83 3ULuttrell (West Ham) 100-7 2ULuvett's Double Albert Bedford 100-7 5UWarrior Guide Arthur 'Doc' Callanan 25-1 6 Welsh Derby, White City (Cardiff) (Jun 3, 525y, £80) PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stBeef Cutlet John Hegarty 29.56 22ndDashing Cut Arthur 'Doc' Callanan 30.20 33rdHingam Happy 30.52 44thScartaglin Rover 1 Grand National, White City (Jun 10, 525y h, £300) PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stScapegoat Albert Jonas 6-1 31.20 42ndLong Hop Johnny Bullock 13-8 31.21 13rdScallywag II Claude Champion 4-5f 31.29 34thBronze Dragon Stan Martin 20-1 2 Cesarewitch, West Ham (Jul 15, 600y, £450)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stElsell William Dixon 100-7 34.22 52ndBeef Cutlet John Hegarty 1-5f 34.42 43rdBenhur (West Ham) 100-6 34.90 3URacketeer II 100-6 1URoving Loafer Sidney Probert 33-1 2UEnglish WarriorBarlow 33-1 6 Scottish Greyhound Derby, Carntyne (Jul 22, 525y, £130)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stS.L.D Jack Tallantire 4-9f 30.30 52ndMick That Miser (Powderhall) 6-1 30.46 13rdDoona Knot 5-1 30.54 2UNightlight 20-1 3UReadable 12-1 4UHaughty Boy II 10-1 6 Scurry Gold Cup, Clapton (Aug 5, 400y, £600)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stCreamery Border Doc Callanan 13-8 23.31+ 12ndChesterfield Jewel Leslie Reynolds 100-8 23.79 23rdRoysterer Bob Burls 8-1 24.03 6UQueen of the Suir Stanley Biss 11-10f 5UClandown Swallow Paddy Fortune 100-6 3UGeraldus Catford 100-6 4 Laurels, Wimbledon (Sep 2, 500y, £700)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stWild Woolley Jimmy Campbell 100-30 28.80 62ndClandown Swallow Paddy Fortune 100-8 29.04 53rdSilver Seal II Johnny Bullock 7-4f 29.05 1UQueen of the Suir Stanley Biss 4-1 2UBronze Dragon Stan Martin 33-1 3UFallinga Jerry Hannafin 3-1 4 St Leger, Wembley (Sep 30, 700y, £600)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stThe Daw Sidney Probert 6-4f 41.24 1 2ndTrinidad Leslie Reynolds 3-1 41.68 23rdEnglish Warrior Barlow 7-4 41.92 44thTop Pace Sidney Orton 10-1 3 Oaks, White City (Oct 28, 525y, £300)PosName of Greyhound TrainerSP Time Trap 1stQueen of the Suir Stanley Biss 2-5f 30.23 22ndGladsome Rose Charlie Ashley 7-1 30.47 43rdMorris Warrior D Costello 100-8 30.55 3UAvion Beauty Leslie Reynolds 33-1 1UJust an IdeaJohnny Bullock 25-1 5USweet Cherry Stanley Biss 6-1 6 Key U = unplaced + = Track Record References 30em Category:Greyhound racing in the United Kingdom Category:Greyhound racing in the Republic of Ireland Category:1933 in British sport Category:1933 in Irish sport Category:1933 in Welsh sport Category:1933 in Scottish sport
