Graham Holland entered the record books on Saturday night at Shelbourne Park when Cheap Sandwiches gave the Golden, Co. Tipperary trainer a fifth BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby success.

When the difficult decision had to be made to withdraw reigning champion Bockos Diamond, the Derby was seemingly blown wide open, but Cheap Sandwiches stepped up to the plate and delivered three consecutive huge performances to go one place better than when chasing home his kennel companion in the 2024 decider.
