RACE REPORTS

 

1.

INTERSPORTS CAIRNS MAIDEN 410M

MAXIMUS HOUDINI was the best to begin.  ELITE AND BLACK and OSPREY LIZ were slow to begin.  MY MATE FROSTY baulked and lost ground abruptly prior to turning out of the back straight tailing off to finish a distant last.  A veterinary inspection of the greyhound revealed an off front toe injury.  Subsequently Stewards acting under the provisions of 69B stood MY MATE FROSTY down from racing until the completion of a satisfactory trial for failing to pursue with injury.  MAXIMUS HOUDINI raced wide into the front straight.

SWABS TAKEN: MAXIMUS MOUDINI - Post Race - Rhonda Essery

VET EXAMINATIONS: MY MATE FROSTY

 

2.

ZAMMATARO PLUMBING 5th GRADE 410M

Even start. RUBY’S MAGIC checked off the heels of DIAMOND OLLIE and almost fell shortly after the start.  STARZAR GOLD checked off CYCLONE ROSIE and lost ground prior to turning into the back straight.  DIAMOND OLLIE and HIGH CLASS MISS bumped on the turn into the front straight resulting in DIAMOND OLLIE losing ground.

SWABS TAKEN:  ZEPHYR ZEUS - Post Race - Emma Bryant

VET EXAMINATIONS:  RUBY’S MAGIC

 

3.

SHANE MCKENZIE 5th GRADE 410M

The lure failed in the back straight resulting in a “NO RACE” being declared.

 

On inspection of the lure it was found that the lure cable had frayed causing the cable to jam in the tension roller resulting in the tension frame being torn from its mounts.  Subsequently the remainder of the meeting was abandoned.
