UK Sporting First! Historic Horse & Greyhound Double-Header
We are thrilled to announce that on Saturday 7th March 2026, Wolverhampton Racecourse will make UK sporting history. For the first time ever, fans can enjoy a combined day of top-tier horse and greyhound racing right here at Dunstall Park.
It’s a landmark moment that celebrates 138 years of horse racing on this site and 100 years of greyhound racing in the UK.
What’s on the Cards?
The afternoon kicks off with a high-octane seven-race thoroughbred card. The highlight is undoubtedly the Lady Wulfruna Stakes, our richest race of the year, which will be broadcast live to the nation on ITV Racing.
As the sun sets, the "hooves turn to paws." From 6:20pm, the action moves to the inner Greyhound track for a 12-race evening card. This is a fantastic chance to see the stars of the sand up close before we host the prestigious £12,500 ARC Laurels in April.
More Than Just Racing
Between the races, we’ll be keeping the atmosphere electric in The Ringside Suite with live music from the brilliant Irish folk band, Radio Murphy. Whether you’re a die-hard racing fan or just looking for a unique Saturday out, there’s something for everyone.
"The BetMGM Lady Wulfruna Stakes is always a highlight on our racing calendar. To add a greyhound racing fixture to this year’s entertainment is a real bonus, and indicative of our vision to create a true, seven-day-a-week, multi-purpose sports, entertainment and leisure hub." — David Ideson, Executive Director at Wolverhampton Racecourse
