GLASSHOUSE GREYHOUND SPORTING CLUB MAIDEN HEAT 1 MAIDEN 520M

APACHE BROOK was best to begin.  CORONARY CLOUD knuckled over shortly after the start and lost ground.  Approaching the turn out of the front straight CORONARY CLOUD was tightened for racing room, checked and lost ground.  SCIPIO AFRICANUS, PAUA TO LAUNCH, GALWAY KITE and LONESOME HERO which were all racing to its outside were checked as a consequence and raced wide.  Rounding the turn out of the front straight GALWAY KITE and LONESOME HERO collided resulting in both greyhounds to be checked and lose ground.  In the back straight APACHE BROOK shifted out which hampered the running of CORONARY CLOUD.

 

The greyhound CORONARY CLOUD underwent a post- race veterinarian examination and no apparent injuries were found.  When questioned, trainer Mr. M Reid stated that the greyhound had stumbled shortly after the start and suffered some interference throughout the event, which in his view took its toll on the greyhound over the concluding stages.  He said that he had trialled the greyhound post to post here at Albion Park leading up to the race and was expecting a forward showing.  He further stated that in his view the greyhound would benefit from further racing as it was having its 1st race start.  Stewards noted his explanation.
