Greenacre Belle, the third favourite, proved the belle of the ball as she easily landed the 71st running of the William Hill Trafalgar Cup at a packed Oxford Stadium last night.

Gone to the dogs: Football stars Vinnie Jones and Dennis Wise at the Trafalger Cup greyhound meeting, Oxford Stadium last night

In front of the SKY television cameras, Ray Peacock's Wimbledon charge took up the running at the second bend and left her rivals for dead down the back straight where only the early-paced youngster Handsome Reward offered any resistance.

By the winning post, Belle had a length to spare to pick up the £2,000 prize money.

As expected, Droopys Becks did not like the red jacket and went out to 2-1 at the off, before finishing last of the five runners. Droopys Juninho had every chance, but never managed to get in a blow.

There where plenty of personalities on show including footballing film star Vinnie Jones and Chelsea and England ace Dennis Wise, who saw his dog Henryaliemma finishthird in the Sports Radio @ William Hill Stakes.

Oxford's champion trainer Angie Kibble produced another hotpot in Another Scare, who was most impressive as as he relegated Level Mover to second spot in the Sports Radio Stakes.

The track record over the hurdles stayers course was shattered when John Mullins's charge Bozy Blue Blaze posted a fine 40.94 in the William Hill Stayers Hurdles.
