St Leger (Irish greyhounds)


This page is about the Irish greyhound race. For other uses, see Saint-Léger
The St Leger is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Limerick Greyhound Stadium at Greenpark, Dock Road, Limerick, Ireland.
The competition is an original classic race and was inaugurated in 1932 at Celtic Park in Belfast following the decision by the Irish Coursing Club to issue a new list of classic races.
As was the practice at the time the Bord na gCon switched the event each year to a different track. Clonmel Greyhound Stadium, Shelbourne Park and Harolds Cross all played host before it found a permanent home at the old Markets Field Greyhound Stadium in Limerick.
