BGRB Spokesman Peter Laurie explained:
“We have a hugely exciting Derby to look forward to in the coming weeks with the very best greyhounds from across Britain and Ireland competing for the sport’s biggest prize.
“The twelve page Media Guide that we have produced in conjunction with the event sponsors Blue Square, and with GRA Wimbledon Stadium, is designed to provide the wider media with a flavour of what the Derby means to everyone connected with greyhound racing.
“It offers a wealth of information about the event, and valuable perspectives from a range of individuals involved in the Derby, the showpiece of Britain’s third most popular spectator sport.
“I very much hope that the guide will help to generate media interest in this year’s competition and lead to the level of coverage that such an historic and prestigious sporting event deserves.”
