IT is every greyhound person’s dream to have a runner in the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby but Galway owner P.J. Fahy is not the typical owner.

With still two days to go before the deadline, the entry list for the Paddypower.com Irish Derby had reached 100 and the signs are that the final number will be very close to the ideal number of 144.

FOLLOWING her brave victory in Sunday’s Boylesports International at Dundalk, Skywalker Queen was yesterday confirmed a definite runner in the Boylesports Champion Stakes which will commence at Shelbourne on Saturday night.

The Irish Greyhound Board has confirmed Anthony Spencer will be stepping down as General Manager of Kilcohan Park Greyhound Stadium at the end of this month.
