Conditions Of Entry
The following conditions shall be observed in respect of every greyhound race and shall form part of the conditions of entry for a race or trial.
- Entries shall only be made and accepted which conform in all respects with these regulations and with any directions of the Control Committee or the Board.
- A greyhound under disqualification or suspension shall not be eligible for entry.
- Should the entered greyhound run in a trial or race after the time of entry and before the date of the race for which he is entered, then the person who made the entry shall immediately inform the Racing Manager of the fact and of the name of the track upon which the greyhound ran such trial or race.
- Entries shall be made on an entry form of an approved type signed either by the bona fide owner of the greyhound or his/her authorised agent (who shall be required to give his/her address) and such entry form shall be in the hands of the racing manager before the time of kennelling.
- Entries made by electronic communication or telephone shall be deemed equally binding and unless such entries are confirmed in writing within 48 hours of the time fixed for the closing of entries, the owner shall, at the discretion of the Board, forfeit all entry fees.
- The person making the entry shall state on the entry form or inform the race track executive where the greyhound may be inspected.
- By entering a greyhound to race or trial at a track licensed by the Board, the owner, trainer and/or agent of the greyhound consents to inspection of the greyhound by an authorised officer of the Board wherever the greyhound is kennelled
- No alteration or addition shall be made in any entry form unless the stewards of the meeting are satisfied that there has been no fraud and that the greyhound's identity is clearly proved. If an owner, trainer or agent fails to give particulars as to a greyhound's performances, as required under Article 19(2)(h) of the Greyhound Industry Racing Regulations 2007-2021 or fails to give additional form between time of entry and the date on which the race is run, then that greyhound may, at the discretion of the Racing Manager, be excluded from competing in the race for which it was entered.
- In respect of any greyhound entered for any race or sweepstake at a licensed stadium, when a subsequent Adverse Analytical Finding is subsequently returned and adjudicated on by the Greyhound Racing Control Committee / Greyhound Racing Appeal Committee in favour of Greyhound Racing Ireland, any prizemoney won by such a greyhound is redistributed to the next placed greyhound (s).
- In respect of any greyhound entered for any race or sweepstake at a licensed stadium, the registered owner (and licensed trainer if so assigned) shall have an up to date status provided for each greyhound registered in their RCÉTS account.
- A greyhound must be microchipped in compliance with the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations, 2015 (S.I. No 63 of 2015) in order to be eligible for entry in a trial or race.
