Ben Truman Stakes

The Ben Truman Stakes was a greyhound racing competition held primarily at New Cross Stadium and Catford Stadium from 1962 to 1988.

History
The competition was held at New Cross Stadium from 1962 until 1968 but when New Cross Stadium closed on 3 April 1969 it switched to Charlton Stadium before finding a permanent home at Catford Stadium in 1971. The event changed the sponsor in 1988 and was discontinued after the 1988 running.
