In a qualifying round Lauries Panther defeated Night Miller and set a new track record with 27.72 sec. Supreme Tiger and Fearless Mover went fastest in the first round held on two separate nights but both Brief Candle and Long Spell were eliminated.

The first semi-final resulted in a very unusual situation after a dead-heat for third place, and it was left to a toss of a coin to determine who made the final. Luck was with Pineapple Barrow and not Jims Memory (trained by Louis Solomon) who had to be content with standing as reserve for the final. The race had been won by Lauries Panther who still remained unbeaten from Duke of Hazard. The second semi was won by [[The Puppy Derby|Puppy Derby]] champion Special Account from Supreme Tiger and Killimy Ivy in a race that saw the defending champion Parkdown Jet finish lame.

Parkdown Jet returned in an attempt to defend his title and claim a third consecutive win for Ireland. The British challenge was led by a record £50,000 purchase called Long Spell bought by turkey farmers Ray and Eddie Turner from Irish Breeder Pat Dalton. Ante-post favourite Brief Candle from the Midlands kennels of Paddy Hancox and Laurels champion Lauries Panther were two other leading contenders.[5]

In a qualifying round Lauries Panther defeated Night Miller and set a new track record with 27.72 sec. Supreme Tiger and Fearless Mover went fastest in the first round held on two separate nights but both Brief Candle and Long Spell were eliminated. Geoff De Mulder's Fearless Mover went fastest again in the second round whilst Parkdown Jet and Lauries Panther both remained unbeaten. During the quarter-finals Parkdown Jet qualified by just missing a first bend incident and Lauries Panther won another crowded race that resulted in Fearless Mover and 1981 English Greyhound Derby finalist Clohast Flame both being eliminated.[5]
