The Ben Truman Stakes was a greyhound racing competition held primarily at New Cross Stadium and Catford Stadium from 1962 to 1988.[1][2]

History

The competition was held at New Cross Stadium from 1962 until 1968[3] but when New Cross Stadium closed on 3 April 1969 it switched to Charlton Stadium[4] before finding a permanent home at Catford Stadium in 1971.[1] The event changed the sponsor in 1988 and was discontinued after the 1988 running.
