A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. Stewards spoke to trainer Mr Belford regarding the greyhound’s seemingly disappointing performance. Mr Belford advised that his runner was having its first run in seven months and would derive benefit from today’s race. Mr Belford further stated that Cosmos Beauty races best when on the pace and didn’t jump as well as expected today. Mr Belford will report back any abnormalities with his runner to Stewards over the upcoming days should any arise. Stewards noted the explanation.
