2012 Irish Greyhound Derby
The 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Final took place on 8 September 2012 at Shelbourne Park.[1]
Skywalker Puma trained by Frances O'Donnell finished the race very strongly to catch early leader Cuil Cougar. Cougar had led for most of the race and just failed to hold off Skywalker Puma who went on to win by a head. Defending champion Razldazl George performed well to take third place.
