The draw for the 2015 Irish Laurels was made yesterday afternoon at Curraheen Park and, despite concerns of a lack of numbers, management have brought together 66 greyhounds for Saturday night’s opening round.

Advancing the notion that trap is more important than trip, Laurels Consolation winner Tyford Tip made all the running from his preferred draw along the fence when taking Saturday night’s second heat of the Two Wheel Training A1 525 at Curraheen Park.
