IRISH ST. LEGER FINAL TO FEATURE IN SECOND YOUTUBE PILOT BROADCAST

GRI

Greyhound Racing Ireland has confirmed that its second pilot YouTube broadcast will take place later this month, featuring live coverage from both Shelbourne Park and Limerick Greyhound Stadium.

The broadcast will coincide with the 2026 Irish St. Leger Final at Limerick Greyhound Stadium and the Winter Racing Festival Semi-Finals at Shelbourne Park, providing viewers with live coverage from two of the sport's key venues. Four races will be broadcast live from each location.

Following the successful pilot broadcast of the Corn Cúchulainn Final earlier this year, the latest production will further test and develop the format while showcasing one of Irish greyhound racing's premier Classic events and building anticipation ahead of the Winter Racing Festival.

The programme will be based in Shelbourne Park, with the outside broadcast team, studio and host operating from Dublin, supported by a remote reporter and cameraman in Limerick. The live show is expected to run for approximately 90 minutes from 8.00pm to 9.30pm.

In addition to live racing action from both venues, the broadcast will feature winner interviews from Limerick, industry-focused VT packages and a Winter Racing Festival preview chat.

Insights gained from the pilot broadcast will help inform future broadcast plans and the wider racing coverage schedule for 2027.
