GENERAL:

Mr. C. Byers, the trainer of the greyhound HARRY BAILEY that competed in race 8 at the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club on the 5th of April 2017, reported to stewards in the following days that upon further veterinary inspection the greyhound was found to have sustained an injury to the off hip support muscle. Mr. Byers therefore anticipates a period of inaction for this greyhound as it recovers from this injury. Stewards noted Mr. Byers’ comments.
