Stewards spoke to trainer’s representative Ms J Cutlack regarding the greyhound’s actions at that stage of the event. After reviewing the video replay and hearing the submissions from Ms J Cutlack, Stewards deemed Sorority had eased and taken its attention away from the lure therefore invoked GAR 125 Failing to Pursue by reason of injury. Sorority was suspended from racing until the successful completion of a satisfactory Steward’s trial. A post-race sample was collected for analysis.
