A Brief History of the Irish Laurels

The Irish Greyhound Laurels dates back 70 years to 1944 when the Classic was first run at the old Western Road venue over the then distance of 500 yards.

Probably the most famous winner of the Laurels was Spanish Battleship who raced to glory in 1955. The great greyhound has a unique place in Irish greyhound history as a three-time winner of the Irish Derby, 1953, '54 and '55.
