[1]The 2011 William Hill Greyhound Derby Final took place on 11 June 2011 at Wimbledon Stadium.
Legendary trainer Charlie Lister won the greyhound racing premier event yet again. This was a remarkable sixth win and a new record, one better than the five wins by Leslie Reynolds many years ago. The successful greyhound Taylors Sky was sensational and broke the track record in the quarter finals setting a time of 28.21. The white and blue dog then equalled the track record in the semi finals recording 28.21 again. Then in the final he led on the run up and broke the track record again when winning in 28.17. Westmead Guru was bumped at the start and ran on well to take second place although still four lengths behind the winner. The antepost favourite Razldazl Jayfkay was eliminated in the Quarter Finals
