RACE REPORTS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARTHUR GOSPER MAIDEN 410M

LIBBY’S HERO was the best to begin.  FABULOUS MIA was tightened for racing room and lost ground approaching the turn into the back straight.  MR. CANNA checked across the hind quarters of TAHNE’S PICK on the turn into the back straight resulting in MR. CANNA becoming unbalanced and shifting out bumping FABULOUS MIA forcing that greyhound to race wide.  TAHNE’S PICK and SLATER’S PICK bumped entering the back straight resulting in both greyhounds losing ground.  MR. CANNA raced wide into the front straight.

NULEAF NOVICE 410M

CALL ME DORY was the best to begin.  CALL ME DORY shifted out entering the front straight bumping GLIDING MISS and forcing that greyhound to race wide.  Stewards questioned the racing manners of CALL ME DORY in particular in the front straight.  After viewing the film of the race and speaking with trainer A. Wooler, CALL ME DORY was stood down from racing for a period of 28 days and the completion of a satisfactory trial for failing to pursue the lure with due commitment in the front straight.
