1935 English Greyhound Derby

[1] Two nights later the second round started and Greta Ranee was defeated by 10-1 shot Stout Heart in 29.64, the second fastest time ever recorded at White City.

[1] The first semi-final was marred by trouble in which Greta Ranee came out best winning from Stout Heart and Fresh Judgement, Brilliant Bob was eliminated which angered the crowd because they wanted a re-run.

Curleys Fancy II came back to form with a win in the second semi-final in 29.86, three lengths ahead of Gold Collar champion Bosham.

[1] A record crowd of 88,700 attended the final night and there was still debate about wide runners being seeded due to the semi-final incident, a rule change that the Greyhound Express backed.

As the traps went up in the final Stout Heart and Curleys Fancy II vied for the lead until the back straight when they were joined by Greta Ranee, as the three came round the final bend, Greta Ranee challenged strongly and beat Curleys Fancy II by ¾ length on the line, with Stout Heart a further ¾ length behind in third place.
