The British Bred Produce Stakes was a greyhound racing competition held annually at Abbey Stadium.[2][3]

History

It was inaugurated in 1946 at Eastville Stadium in Bristol when it was known as the Western Two-Year Old Stakes.[4][5] The following year it was renamed the Western Two-Year Old Produce Stakes in order to distinguish the event as a produce event (restricted to puppies from specifically Wales and the West).[6]

The competition was later extended to all regions but remained a puppy event. Following the closure of Bristol in 1997 it switched to sister track Swindon. The event today is open to British Bred greyhounds only.[7] After 2019 the competition was held on the revamped Swindon circuit.[8]

In 2025 Swindon ran the event for the last time, following the imminent closure of track.[9]
