trainer Mr. R Kedge reported that in his view GUN POWER received some minor
interference leaving the back straight which then placed his greyhound at a
disadvantage and raced on the wrong foot for some distance which may have
contributed to the greyhound losing ground at that stage of the event. After considering the evidence stewards
noted Mr. Kedge’s explanation. |
