They love the Kerry Agribusiness Irish St Leger down in Limerick and there should be a terrific attendance this evening when local runners Castleivy Crash and Ballyana Foxtrot will make a bold bid for the €25,000 prize.

Last week these two dogs did their fans proud when winning their semis at big odds and, no doubt, they will attract much interest again this time.
