Welcome to Brighton & Hove
Coral Brighton & Hove Greyhound Stadium is certainly the most
scenic of all greyhound stadia in the British Isles, the big, sweeping
circuit is recognised by experts as being one of the fastest and safest
tests of the racing greyhound.
The stadium boasts some of the most comfortable spectator
amenities with restaurant and catering facilities second to none. It
has fully computerised Totalisator and photo finish systems, video race
replay, an easy to follow comprehensive colour racecard, guides to
betting on the tote for newcomers, a children's playground, free
parking and easy access by public transport.
The stadium was also the home of Ballyregan Bob, who broke the
world record for consecutive wins when he scored his 32nd successive
victory on 9th December 1985.
