Oaks (greyhounds)

This page is about the British Greyhound Race. For the Irish race, see Oaks (Irish greyhounds).

The Oaks is an original classic greyhound competition, held at Belle Vue Stadium.

It was run at White City Stadium from 1927 until 1958. It gained classic status in September 1939, becoming the seventh classic race but due to the war it was suspended until 1945. The race was held at Harringay Stadium from 1959 until 1987 and then to Wimbledon Stadium in 1988 until 2012. In 2013 the Greyhound Racing Association decided to move the event to sister track Belle Vue.
