“We are looking forward to a great night, with a first class race card on the final night here at Curraheen Park Greyhound Stadium. It’s great to see GAIN committing further to the greyhound racing industry as this event now joins their other key events such as the Corn Cuchulainn, The Cesarewitch, GAIN Select Stakes, GAIN 600 & The GAIN Christmas Oaks”
