Wolverhampton's new purpose-built venue — Perry Barr's successor for Midlands racing
Opened September 2025 — successor to Perry Barr
Dunstall Park is the newest greyhound racing venue in Britain, opening in September 2025 as the successor to Birmingham's historic Perry Barr Stadium. Located in Wolverhampton, near the existing Monmore Green stadium, Dunstall Park was purpose-built as a modern greyhound racing facility and represents a significant investment in the sport's future in the West Midlands.
The venue inherited much of Perry Barr's racing community — trainers, dogs, and operational expertise — giving it an established competitive base from day one. Dunstall Park operates regular meetings on the BAGS circuit and its fixtures are broadcast nationally, maintaining the Midlands' strong presence in the national racing and betting market.
As a new track, Dunstall Park is still establishing its statistical profile. Our data is building with every meeting, and the patterns that emerge will define how punters should approach this venue. For now, we classify it as a medium-fair track based on its design specifications, and we update the statistics below with every new meeting.

Win rate at Dunstall Park & their runners
Dunstall Park was designed as a modern greyhound racing circuit with specifications intended to produce fair, competitive racing. The circuit is of medium proportions with bends designed to be wide enough for clean racing without the extreme characteristics of either very tight or very galloping tracks.
As a purpose-built facility, the track surface, drainage, and rail systems benefit from modern engineering. The track is expected to provide consistent going conditions and a well-defined racing line. The run-up to the first bend and the straight lengths have been designed to create balanced racing opportunities for both front-runners and closers.
As our database grows with completed races, the detailed geometry analysis — including actual bend bias measurements and front-runner percentages — will be built from real racing data rather than design specifications.
As a new venue, Dunstall Park's definitive racing character is still emerging. Based on the design and early data, we are treating it as a medium-fair track where neither front-runners nor closers have an extreme structural advantage. This classification may evolve as more data accumulates.
Dogs transferring from Perry Barr may have an initial advantage due to familiarity with Midlands racing conditions, and trainers from the Perry Barr community will bring their established preparation methods. However, a new track surface and geometry means that every dog is learning the venue simultaneously, which can create more open early-stage competition.
We recommend monitoring our statistics closely as they build. The trap bias, front-runner percentage, and draw effect data below updates with every completed meeting and will provide increasingly reliable guidance as the sample size grows.
| Distance | Races | Avg Field | Avg Winner Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 270m | 506 | 3.1 | 16.30s |
| 480m | 1120 | 2.9 | 29.05s |
| 660m | 28 | 1.5 | 40.24s |
| 715m | 3 | 0 | 42.34s |
Sprint distance. As data accumulates, the trap bias at this distance will become clearer. Early indications should be monitored in our trap statistics below.
The likely standard trip. As a medium-fair track by design, expect balanced racing where quality and pace both play a role. Statistics will build to confirm the exact character.
Middle-distance trip for stayers. The track's design specifications suggest fair racing at this distance. Stamina and sustained speed should be the key factors.
How to read this: In a fair 6-runner race, each trap would win ~17% and place (finish 1st or 2nd) ~33% of the time.
Win% = how often this trap produces the winner. Place% = how often this trap finishes 1st or 2nd (standard place bet).
+ / − columns show the difference from fair share — positive means the trap wins/places more than expected, negative means less.

Dunstall Park is new, which means the data is still building and the market is still learning how to price races here accurately. This creates opportunities for attentive punters — early statistical patterns may not yet be fully reflected in market prices.
While the data builds, we recommend a balanced analytical approach: weight performance ratings and class as primary factors, with trap draw as a secondary consideration. As the statistics below accumulate more data, clearer biases and patterns will emerge, and you can adjust your approach accordingly.
Keep an eye on dogs with strong Perry Barr form transferring to Dunstall Park. The training community overlap means these dogs are likely to be well-prepared, and their established form provides a useful baseline even at a new venue. Our suitability scores will adapt as track-specific data accumulates.
