VETERANS STAKE AT SHELBOURNE

Ian Fortune

Friday’s week will see the start of the Old Stagers 525, a twelve-dog competition for greyhounds born in January ’19 or before.

It’s wonderful to see the older dogs getting their chance to shine in their own company but, have no doubt, this won’t be an easy competition to win.

There are plenty of veteran trackers that have retained the majority of their ability and the resulting action should be of a high quality. The stake kicks off on Friday, February 3^rd and it is worth €1,750 to the winner. Those interested in having a runner shouldn’t hesitate to contact the racing office.
