| The Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh owned Razldazl Rioga will be looking to land back-to-back Boylesports.com Race of Champions titles, and the €15,000 winner’s purse, at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium in Tralee this Friday. |
| The event showcases some of Ireland’s top greyhounds, and is open to those that have won major events over the last 12 months. |
| The race will be broadcast live on RTÉ Two and worldwide on RTÉ.ie from 8.30pm. |
| The Paddy Hennessy trained Leamaneigh Turbo posted the fastest time in last week’s opening semi-final when he registered 29.76 from trap 1, with Farloe Trent some five lengths back in second and Killinan Cash a further four lengths back in third. |
| Razldazl Rioga, trained by Dolores Ruth, won the second semi-final by a head in 30.01 from the rather unlucky, fast-finishing Paradise Silva, with Airlie Dazzler a length back in third. |
| The Pat Buckley trained Paradise Silva and Leamaneigh Turbo are currently disputing favouritism for the 550-yard showpiece. |
| Boylesports.com Race of Champions Final trap draw: 1 Paradise Silva 2 Razldazl Rioga 3 Leamaneigh Turbo 4 Airlie Dazzler 5 Killinan Cash 6 Farloe Trent |
