WHEEL DRIVE ATHERTON 3/4th GRADE 410M Stewards spoke to trainer R. Lound in relation to the boxing of ALL FUELED UP. Mr Lound was
advised that the time taken to box ALL FULED UP was bordering on
unacceptable. Mr Lound

experienced handler in future races. ALL FUELED UP was the best to begin. ALL FUELED UP was tightened for racing room
and lost considerable ground on the turn into the back straight. LEAD CONTENDED checked off PUT THONGS ON

RACE DAY SUMMARY |
|
|
GENERAL: Stewards questioned trainer R. Lound in relation to the scratchings
of MR. MACGREGOR, and MAGICAL DASH in Race 1, GLIDING MISS in Race 2 and BIG
SAV in Race 4. Mr Lound
explained that he does not check his greyhounds until Wednesday afternoon
which is after nominations close for Cairns.
Stewards suggested that it would be best practice to ensure greyhounds
are fit to race prior to nominations. Mr
Lound was advised that a veterinary certificate
would be required for each greyhound confirming the injuries prior to the
greyhound starting again. FINES:
