Second YouTube broadcast set for Irish St Leger final

YouTube show set for second outing 

After a successful first test for the final of the Corn Cúchulainn at Shelbourne back at the end of June, GRI have announced that the final of the 1XBet Irish St Leger will be the second show broadcast on the YouTube channel as they continue to refine the programme.

It will be at Shelbourne that the main presenting team will be based, with a reporter and cameraman sent to Limerick for all of the reaction and interviews from the action there.

The plan is for the show to run for 90 minutes from 8pm until 9.30pm with the action from Shelbourne also forming part of the show, with the current plan to have four races from each of the tracks shown live. 

St Leger final night will be just a week ahead of the Winter Festival at Shelbourne, so expect plenty of discussion in the studio about the upcoming racing from those two nights at the end of November. 

The feedback and lessons learned from both the initial broadcast and this one will be used to formulate a plan for the showing of more coverage in 2027.

With both the English and Irish Derby winners in the semis as well as the new track record holder Ballymac Deniro, the St Leger final has the potential to be one of the best races of the entire year.
