Greyhound care payment scheme for racing dogs

Any greyhound which has raced or had an official trial in the previous 42 days prior to the commencement of the suspension will receive a daily payment of €2 for the duration of the stoppage due to Covid-19.

Greyhound racing followed all other sports into suspension mode at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday and the Irish Greyhound Board has been quick to announce that a greyhound care payment scheme has been put in place to take care of racing greyhounds during this period of uncertainty.

Each greyhound which has been active in the pool i.e. any greyhound which has raced or had an official trial at any of the IGB licence tracks in the previous 42 days prior to the commencement of the suspension, will receive a daily payment of €2 for the duration of the stoppage due to Covid-19.
