The Select Stakes is a greyhound competition held at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium.[1][2] It was run at Wembley Stadium from 1952 until 1996. When the Wembley Greyhounds ended, it moved to Nottingham in 1997. This was after the closure of the greyhounds at Wembley.[3]

In 2022, new sponsors JenningsBet increased the winner's prize to £10,000.[4]
