Weekend meetings hopeful of beating frost

It has been quite a week for the greyhound industry this far with the three splendid days of sport at Clonmel and then the highly encouraging figures released by the Irish Greyhound Board.

Dare we hope that things are turning around?

The gods were truly smiling on the National Coursing Meeting with splendid weather throughout and no interruptions. Wednesday was a day borrowed from Heaven and produced some tremendous buckles until the anti-climax in the finals with no decider to the Classics Club Champion Stakes and then the injury to Blueview Sam in the early yards of the Boylesports.com final.
