About the Kirby Memorial Stakes
The Kirby Memorial Stakes is the showpiece of Munster greyhound racing, a Category 1 classic at Limerick Greyhound Stadium each spring with one of the largest winner's purses outside Dublin. Munster's passionate racing community treats Kirby night as the biggest occasion of the provincial calendar.
How to punt the Kirby Memorial Stakes
The Kirby draws serious national fields, so local Limerick course form is only part of the puzzle — recent Shelbourne Park open form translates directly. Track the big Tipperary kennels in the build-up; the province's powerhouse trainers target the Kirby above almost any other race.
