East Cork's seaside venue — small, tight, and pace-driven
Youghal Greyhound Stadium sits in the seaside town of Youghal on the Cork-Waterford border. One of the smaller venues on the Irish circuit, Youghal provides Monday and Saturday racing for the east Cork and west Waterford community. The track has a distinctive seaside character — compact, atmospheric, and close-knit. It plays an important role as a development venue for young dogs from the Cork region.
Schedule: Monday & Saturday evenings

Youghal is a compact, tight circuit where early pace and inside draw are the dominant factors. The short run-up and tight bends mean that position at the first bend is critical, and dogs that can break quickly from inside traps have a substantial structural advantage. The seaside location means going can be affected by coastal weather, particularly in winter.
Youghal is a front-runner's track. Inside-drawn dogs with early pace win at well-above-average rates. The compact circuit means that closers rarely have enough straight-line distance to make up for positions lost at the bends. Dog Selector analysis should weight early pace and inside draw very heavily here.
| Distance | Races | Avg Field | Avg Winner Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 325m | 36 | 6 | 18.21s |
| 525m | 1716 | 6 | 29.88s |
| 550m | 3 | 6 | 30.77s |
The 525-yard standard trip. Inside draw and early pace are the dominant factors. Well-drawn front-runners are strongly favoured on Youghal's tight circuit.
How to read this: In a fair 6-runner race, each trap would win ~17% and place (finish 1st or 2nd) ~33% of the time.
Win% = how often this trap produces the winner. Place% = how often this trap finishes 1st or 2nd (standard place bet).
+ / − columns show the difference from fair share — positive means the trap wins/places more than expected, negative means less.

Trap draw first, everything else second at Youghal. Inside-drawn front-runners are your banker bet type. Don't overthink this venue with complex form analysis — well-drawn early pace is the overriding factor, and the market often underestimates the magnitude of this advantage at this tight circuit.
