It's my opinion that the reason the Greyhounds didn't get included in the early resumption of racing is the IGB did fuck all , only hope they would get in on the coat tails of the Horse Industry

Just look back on the IGB old videos the crowds the fans the fun the sponsors. Time for change what's there now is definitely not working.

Hi John, Taking from another site
While feed companys like Red Mills refused to back the greyhound industry in their hour of need Gain Feeds are doing the opposite ,more funding for Retired greyhounds . So lets not forget them and buy their products . WELL DONE GAIN FEEDS .

And cutting the milk price. time for farmers to wake up why should they have to work 7 days 52 weeks a year to prop up sponsering a sport that means nothing to them.?

Hi Paul do any of you're family have to get up and milk cows ,feed them calf them down rear the calves if there lucky to get a heifer great if not it's a loss to them to keep a Male calf then try to get them back in calf 24 / 7 / all year round and then see the company thats cutting the price of your milk so that it can sponser something that's already getting 16+ million a year from the taxpayer.

Getting bitter John, your on the wrong site..try CAGED mate, RED MILLS were a disgrace last year, do you not agree?
And cutting the milk price. time for farmers to wake up why should they have to work 7 days 52 weeks a year to prop up sponsering a sport that means nothing to them.?
God John, have we not got enough enemies out there without dragging the wrath of the Irish farmers down on top of us, I seriously think you should withdraw your comments relating to milk price and race sponsership, it's not a factor.

having watched Australian racing for the past 6 weeks, its refreshing to see such a nice online offering.GOOD OFF TRACK BETTING PLATFORMS AND THE BEST CAMERA ANGLES AND QUALITY STREAMING APPEARS TO BE THE WAY TO GO. Why is Irish Greyhound Racing not on the Betfair exchange? Is it the IGB or Betfair that is stopping it. We need Irish Racing on Betfair
It's my opinion that the reason the Greyhounds didn't get included in the early resumption of racing is the IGB did fuck all , only hope they would get in on the coat tails of the Horse Industry

Hi John hope your keeping well Using the Dairy angle is grasping at straws, whilst all same Company the sponsorship budget for canine comes out of the Canine Nutrition division and is based on that sectors submission & qualification for funds. All division have to stand alone & be accountable, Dairying has nothing got to do with it. Just wouldn't like you getting the wrong end of the stick, keep flag flying for RM

Rumour has it Prime time had a hit piece m on horse racing ready to air a few weeks ago but was pulled because of the virus. I'm sure you will pull all RM sponsorship overnight like you did with greyhound racing if the programme is aired and a horse racing is shown in a negative light
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
