McAlevey Gold Cup
The McAlevey Gold Cup was a greyhound racing competition held annually at Celtic Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was introduced in 1938 for greyhounds bred in Ireland and not over two years of age.[1]
The competition was also known as the home-bred produce Stakes and offered a significant winner's prize of £600 in 1946.[1] When the race was won by Dillies Piaglle in 1966 the winning time was a National Record.[2]
The race came to an end in 1983 following the closure of Celtic Park.[3]
