Tipperary trained "The Other Kobe" claims top prize at the National Greyhound Racing Awards

The Other Kobe won the 2023 Irish Greyhound Derby

The Other Kobe was announced as the Supreme Greyhound of The Year for 2023 at the National Greyhound Racing Awards hosted at Limerick Greyhound Stadium on Friday night.

A dog whose Tipperary based trainer Jennifer O’Donnell thought was destined for Irish Greyhound Derby glory in 2022, only to be outpaced by his own litter brother Born Warrior, who went to claim that crown.

The Other Kobe had to wait a year to prove himself and he did that in style at the 2023 Irish Greyhound Derby where he took the top prize.

Given the calibre of her progeny it is no surprise therefore that their mother Mountaylor Queen was announced as Brood Bitch of the Year at the same awards. From one litter of three pups, she produced two Irish Greyhound Derby Winners!
