CLONBRIEN Treaty will look to defend his WillWeGo.Com Irish St. Leger title at Limerick next Saturday night.
The Graham Holland-trained runner is owned by the Murphy family of Athlacca.
He won his semi-final in a quality time of 29.50 seconds.
Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for Greyhound Racing Ireland, said: “It’s hard to describe how much of an achievement it is to reach back-to-back classic finals nowadays.
“Clonbrien Treaty races from trap six at the weekend to defend his crown and it wouldn’t be a shock to anyone if he manages to pull it off. We could see history being made so make sure you tune in or even better yet, attend Limerick for a brilliant night out. Best of luck to all the deserving finalists.”
Kilkenny handler Paul Hennessy qualified Barefoot On Fire and Jaytee Craze as they grabbed second and third place behind Treaty.
Ventry Faith won the second semi-final for trainer Owen McKenna (Tippeary) and owner Padraig O’Murchu from Tralee, county Kerry.
He ran the race of his life from trap two to win his first heat of the competition in a time of 29.47.
