Alsation can get punters off to a flier in Leger

Within shouting distance of Christmas and here we are in a situation where the greyhound action is absolutely red hot with the Kerry Agribusiness Irish St Leger commencing tomorrow at Limerick Stadium while on Saturday at Shelbourne the first round of the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake will fire into action.

Alsation can get punters off to a flier in Leger

It really is a tremendous situation when one compares it with some years back when the tracks were beginning to grind to a halt at this stage in readiness for the winter break. Nowadays, the developed stadia look to the Christmas market to steady the figures for the year!

The Leger is going to extra special this time, given that it will be the first time for the 550 yards classic to be staged at the new Limerick Stadium. There is a high class entry and some massive crowds are anticipated from here up to the final which is scheduled for Saturday, December 18th. The final, incidentally, will be televised live by RTE TV and will also be shown on www.igb.ie.
