NEW FAVOURITE REVEALED FOR BOYLESPORTS IRISH GREYHOUND DERBY FINAL

Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “The Michael Fortune Memorial Derby Plate is for greyhounds who got knocked out of the opening two rounds of the derby.

“The standard is very high this year with Kildare the 6/4 from 11/4 favourite to win the title for trainer Peter Cronin. Garryvoe Joe is next at 11/4 from 6/1 and has really caught the eye with just seven races on his card so he can’t be dismissed.

“It’s going to be a brilliant night of action with the 2022 BoyleSports Irish Greyhound Derby the main attraction.”
