When Time (brought to you by GreyCo Ltd) was introduced to the greyhound feed market earlier this year by Willie Rigney & John Fox, one of the first tasks they took on was to invest in greyhound race sponsorship across the country. The classic Juvenile Derby at Shelbourne Park was part of that investment and today the two men joined representatives of Greyhound Racing Ireland to launch the event.
