Stewards questioned trainer Mr. P Shaxon in respect to SPRING REMI’s actions in the run to the finish where it appeared the greyhound may have turned its head in the direction of SIXTEEN WINX.  After considering all available evidence stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that the greyhound had offended and therefore gave it the benefit of the doubt.
