Belle Vue is greyhound racing track in Belle Vue, Manchester where the very first race around an oval track in Britain was held on July 24, 1926. More than 1,700 people were attracted to the meeting where they watched a greyhound called Mistley win over 440 yards (402 m). The track has always been the property of Greyhound Racing Association Ltd. (GRA), which has invested heavily in it right through to the current day. It is also used for motorcycle speedway as the home ground of Elite League team Belle Vue Aces.
