Stewards inquired into the manners of PHANTOM HENRY during the latter stages of the race where it appeared to turned its head toward FLYING TWISTER which was racing to its inside.  After taking evidence from trainer’s representative K Brown stewards gave the greyhound the benefit of the doubt as they could not be comfortably satisfied the greyhound had turned its head at that stage as there was a collision between the 2 greyhounds leading up to the incident.

 

The greyhound FAMOUS MOLLY underwent a post race veterinarian examination and no apparent injuries were found.  Stewards advised trainer Ms. M Goodwin that the greyhound would be charged under Rule 69 (A) Failing to Pursue, 1st offence, 28 days plus a satisfactory stewards’ trial 520m all tracks.
