Portsmouth Greyhound Track (Copnor)
The six five-dog races that supported the hurdle match went the way of the orange jacket of trap five and the first ever winner was Biddy Blue in 33.67 secs at odds of 4-6f.[5] The Portsmouth Greyhound Racecourse Company were responsible for bringing the racing to the public that night despite the financial backing of the GRA.The hare attached to a green cord was pulled around the track by a hand powered windlass through specially made clip pulleys.[9] The racing although a success only lasted two years and the track closed on 29 November 1930, changing to football and playing fields.It is probable that it closed due to competition; a bigger track at Target Road in Tipner opened.
