‘Big players’ likely to benefit most from new greyhound industry initiatives

This week the IGB announced a number of initiatives to be implemented in the greyhound industry this year.

Firstly, breeders will receive €15 “for all winning greyhounds” which are “whelped in Ireland and registered in the Irish Greyhound studbook”, presumably, though not expressly stated in the press release, this will apply to winners at Irish tracks.

Also, €800 will be paid “to all trainers public, private or owner-trained for every 100 dogs raced or part in excess thereof”.
