Littleducs Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Can anybody remember Hyde Park Dog Track, and also the regular people that went there, for instance people who went to spectate or people that had dog's running there, for instance David Naughton, his brother Shaun, Mark Booth and the book maker called Roy Lindop, and Paddy Naughton who used to go there. I used to go with my Dad and take our dog onto the track. We also used to go to Darnell and Wombwell I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Hobo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes, Darnall was a licensed track, Hyde Park was a 'flapping' track. Owlerton, licensed, is the only one remaining. Clarks was the bookies at Hunter's bar - up the stairs to the right! A flapping track maybe,but can your remember when they held an open race there and the prize money was a £1000 in the mid 70s.
