A sunny Shelbourne Park was the backdrop to the launch of the 2025 BresBet Easter Cup this week.
Ian Fortune spoke to Carl Perry, Head of Trading with BresBet, as the duo looked forward to this year's competition. Always attracting the cream of the racing crop, this year's line-up will include the reigning champion, Clonbrien Treaty, as he looks to defend his crown.
Ireland's oldest Greyhound Racing Classic having started in 1928, the 2025 BresBet Easter Cup will get underway on Saturday 15th March with the Final on Saturday 5th April in Dublin's Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium.

The BresBet team made the journey to Shelbourne Park this week to launch the 2025 Easter Cup, one of Ireland’s top class greyhound competitions.
This will be the fourth year that the Sheffield-based online bookmaker, which specialises in football, horse, and greyhound racing has sponsored this classic event.

“We’re proud to be associated with the Easter Cup for the fourth year running. We see it as the first big classic of the year, which always attracts a quality field. 2025 looks like being no different and we’re introducing our bonus offer for the winner of the Easter Cup to then go on to win the Steel City Cup in Sheffield in October. We’re throwing down the gauntlet for our Irish friends to come and claim the bonus on offer”, said Carl Perry, Head of Trading at BresBet.
Derek Frehill, Director of Racing at GRI said at the launch “We are delighted to welcome BresBet back to the new look Shelbourne Park. What a trio of champions they have had to date with Susie Sapphire, Swords Rex and Clonbrien Treaty all taking Easter Cup glory during their sponsorship. This year looks like it will be no different with another top-class entry expected, which is rumoured to include last years’ champion Clonbrien Treaty – a fantastic event is definitely in store for greyhound fans!”
First run at Shelbourne Park in 1928, previous winners of The Easter Cup include the legendary Spanish Battleship, the three-time Irish Derby winner, who won in 1954 and 1955. While Mick the Miller, himself a two-time English Derby winner, was runner-up in 1929.
Other Easter Cup winners of note include Indian Joe (1980), who won the English Derby at White City the same year, and another English Derby champion Farloe Melody, who successfully defended his Easter Cup title (1991/92) having won his Derby at Wimbledon in 1992.
