Shortly after box rise (1) Exit Plan was observed to have turned in the boxes and exited the boxes in reverse. After clearing the boxes Exit Plan ran up the home straight in the opposite direction, visibly disrupting the running action of several greyhounds that were leaving the turn into the home straight. After viewing all available footage stewards determined that the greyhounds’ actions had a material effect on the outcome of the race. Subsequently stewards declared Race 9 a “No Race” acting under the provisions of GAR 56(1) “Should there be an occurrence of any human intervention, mechanical or other defect, which has the effect of preventing an Event from being completed or there are other circumstances arising which warrant such action being taken, the Stewards may declare the Event to be a “False Start” or a "No Race".
