In January 1968 Shelbourne Park came under the ownership of the Bord na gCon for £240,000, which resulted in Shelbourne becoming the permanent home of the Irish Greyhound Derby from 1970.[2]
The winner Yellow Printer won £2,000 and was trained by John Bassett, owned by Miss Pauline Wallis and Sir Robert Adeane.[3]
