greyhound did not begin well from the boxes, which is in contrast to its
usual form in its short race career to date. Mr. Aylward believed that the
greyhound’s slow start affected its chances throughout the run and exposed
the greyhound to more interference throughout the run. He further advised that the greyhound is
nominated to race this Sunday over the distance of 395m at Albion Park, and
undertook to inform stewards should anything come to light with the greyhound
in the coming days. |
