greyhound’s performance in light of the fact that the greyhound was backed
significantly in the market. Mr. Emery
advised that the greyhound had trialled well on a number of occasions prior
to this start and he was confident in its chances. Mr. Emery stated that he supported the
greyhound on this occasion and expects the ORBIT THE SUN to continue to
improve, going forward. The
greyhound SLICE OF CAKE underwent a post-race veterinary examination and no
apparent injuries were found. The
