Info for Trainers

(1) Every effort will be made to ensure that Greyhounds entered at Dundalk Stadium participate in a race within 28 days after entry. Failing this, it is the Racing Manager's intention to ensure that no Greyhound goes out of time.

(2) Racing will not be guaranteed for any greyhound entered after 28 days of its last line of form.

(3) Race Cards are completed and published by 10am the morning before each race day. Owners and trainers are advised to either:

a) Avail of the text alert service on www.igb.ie

b) Check for runners on the website itself.

c) Check for runners on the morning of the race date. Where the newspaper fails to carry the Race card, it is advisable to ring the Racing Office.

(4) All non-runners must be reported to the Racing Office between 9am and 1pm on the race date. Reported non-runners after this time will be asked to pay the €10 entry fee if a suitable reserve cannot be found.

(5) Private Trial bookings are taken at 2pm every Tuesday. Due to demand, Trials cannot be guaranteed to any Owner or Trainer.

(6) Any Greyhound, who, in the opinion of the Racing Stewards present at the meeting has run unsatisfactorily, may be tested. Owners and Trainers are expected to comply with the wishes of the Racing Stewards.

(7) After a Greyhound has run in a race, the Racing Office would appreciate if the Owner or Trainer would inform the Racing Office if that Greyhounds future availability.

Declaration of a 'NO RACE'

The stewards may decide a 'NO RACE' only in the following circumstances:

(1) Where there is a mechanical or other defect of the hare equipment or starting box or any outside interference with the race, or

(2) If any of the dogs fight, and as a consequence, all fail to pursue the hare, or

(3) If for any reason all dogs fail to pursue the hare.

Note: A greyhound turning back in a race does not constitute outside interference.

Greyhounds Turning in Traps

(1) If a greyhound turns before the hare is put in motion that greyhound will be taken out and righted. If, however, he turns again no further attention will be given to him.

(2) If a greyhound turns while the hare is in motion, the hare should not be stopped and the traps should be released.

(3) If the hare passes the traps and for any reason the traps do not operate then all dogs should be taken out and be re-examined before they are put into the traps again.
