€20k greyhound race prize paid twice after positive substance test sparks confusion

State allocated €19.2m to Greyhound Racing Ireland in last year's budget.

Confusion surrounds the final destination of a €20,000 first prize for a greyhound race, which was paid out twice after it emerged the original winner had tested positive for a banned substance.

Carrigmore Dante emerged victorious in the Time Greyhound Nutrition A4 Derby Final on July 6 last year, receiving the top prize of €20,000.
