KILKENNY NEWS AND SALES SUCCESSES

Entries invited for the next sales at Kilkenny on Saturday, August 6th.

It is recommended that all greyhounds entered in the sales have an EU Passport with a Rabies vaccination certified on Pet Passport by a veterinary surgeon, administered by July 16th.

On the subject of the Kilkenny sales, it is interesting to note a couple of previous purchases have been in tremendous form of late. Leahs Turn was purchased at this year’s March sales for a very reasonable €900. The June ’20 whelp has since won races at Shelbourne Park in 28.49 and 28.50.

Budget Talk was purchased for €200 at the October 2021 sales and he has since won €3,000 in prizemoney. He has 28.96 on his card around Kilkenny and successfully stepped up in trip on Sunday evening to win the A2 Novice 725 worth €750 to the winner. It’s further proof that there is always a bargain to be found at the Kilkenny sales.

ENTRIES REQUIRED
