Oxford's promoter, Kevin Boothby, has announced the cancellation of the Cowley Puppy Collar, which was set for October at Oxford.
Boothby explained that last year's event had been backed by RPGTV, and they had secured two new sponsors for this year's competition. Unfortunately, both sponsors withdrew, leaving the organisers with no choice but to call off the event.
Despite this setback, Boothby reassured fans that two key juvenile races, the English Puppy Derby and Bet365 Puppy Oaks, will proceed as planned at Towcester.
