Preview: Irish Greyhound Derby starts Shelbourne Park Friday

THE €125,000 BOYLE Sports Irish Derby over 550 yards is the highlight of the Irish greyhound calendar with all eyes on Shelbourne Park for the next six weekends as well as on sisracing.tv which has every race in every round live.

Jonathan Kay caught up with the sponsor's Damien Lonergan - with Ian Fortune breaking off his holiday to offer some ante-post advice - to discuss what promises to be both a clash of the generations and battle of the sexes.
