Watch- A look behind the scenes at Kilkenny Greyhound Stadium

Kilkenny Greyhound Stadium hosts races every Wednesday and Friday and thanks to the Racing Greyhounds of Ireland Youtube page, here's a look behind the scenes.

St James Park in Kilkenny is a large park that contains sports pitches to the south and a greyhound track to the north. The greyhound circuit can be found south of Parkview Drive off the Freshford Road. Race distances are 300, 325, 550, 727, 750 & 1000 yards.

Despite the small nature of the track it is regarded as an important contributor to the local economy and is still supported strongly by the  Kilkenny Track Supporters Club. The long running BEAM race nights have been a success for over 25 years.
