Bobsleigh Dream delivers Irish Leger win for Gneeveguilla owner Willie Joe Murphy

Willie Joe Murphy's dog Bobsleigh Dream won the Matchbook Irish Leger at Limerick on Sunday night. The 11/8 favourite Mustang Jet was beaten by three-quarters of a length by Liam Dowling’s Ballymac Whispa.

Racing Ireland announced major prize money incentives for 2023. The biggest of them is €50,000 on offer if the same greyhound wins the Irish Derby, the Champion Stakes and the Easter Cup at Shelbourne Park. There are 18 events listed across the country, but no mention of any Tralee event.

Bobsleigh Dream has won the Irish Leger for Gneeveguilla owner Willie Joe Murphy.
