TIME, a leader in greyhound feed & nutrition, is thrilled to announce a significant sponsorship deal for a series of top greyhound races throughout 2024.

The sponsorship includes prestigious events such as the TIME Cesarewitch in Mullingar, The TIME Select Stakes in Waterford, The TIME Juvenile Derby in Shelbourne Park, and the newly created A4 TIME Greyhound Derby to be hosted in Limerick Greyhound Stadium.
