William Hill Classic
The William Hill Classic is a relatively new event in greyhound racing starting in 1995. It is held at Sunderland and forms part of a festival of racing which also includes the William Hill Grand Prix.
The prize money offers a substantial first prize of £25,000 which means that it is considered a major competition in UK greyhound racing.[1]
