Trainer Mr. N Catchpole explained that BOSS HUGO is a greyhound that does not start quickly in its races and after starting slow in today’s event and receiving some interference in the back straight he was satisfied with the greyhound’s performance.  He stated that he had to scratch BOSS HUGO from his previous event due to a spider bite however, after having blood test carried out which had cleared up any issue surrounding that bite and he was satisfied that the greyhound would race up to its full potential.  He further stated that BOSS HUGO has had issues after a foot operation where a toe was removed and it would be his intention to race the greyhound sparingly.  Stewards noted his explanation.
