I was reading through a racing forum thread about sponsorships in Ireland, and someone mentioned 1xBet Ireland becoming the new title sponsor of Greyhound Racing Ireland. Out of curiosity I looked into it, and the first thing that stood out was the national tour covering 14 racecourses. The highlight is the Irish St. Leger at Limerick Greyhound Stadium, which now has a €30,000 prize. Even though I wasn’t sure how impactful the deal would be at first, the scale of the events convinced me it’s a significant boost for the sport.
