How the ‘Let’s Get Racing 2016’ initiative is executed will be interesting

As previously released but without the mechanics specified, the IGB this week launched its initiative to encourage new owners into greyhound racing.

The ‘Let’s Get Racing 2016’ event, unveiled at Shelbourne on Saturday night, provides ready-made competitions specifically for unraced greyhounds purchased at the sales in Shelbourne on Friday August 19.

There will be an entrance fee for each stake, the one with greatest prize money will cost €50 and will be open to the 24 greyhounds which post the fastest times at the sales.
