Greyhound folk will have their stamina tested to the limit in the coming week with some top class racing at tracks all over the country while the National Coursing Meeting will commence at Clonmel on Monday morning.

TONIGHT’S card at Curraheen is the last one before Christmas and it features the final of the classy Gain Feeds Christmas Stake, which can go to Burgess Star.

DAMIAN and Noel Fleming, who bred English Derby winner Taylors Sky, earned the plaudits at Curraheen Park on Saturday night when that one’s half-brother, Rising Magic, took the featured O’Riordan Brothers’ Tarmacadam A1 final.
