Stewards spoke to trainer Mr G Stella regarding the greyhound’s actions at that stage of the event, after reviewing the video replay and the hearing the submissions from Mr Stella, Stewards deemed Black Commanche had eased and therefore invoked GAR 125(a) Failing to Pursue by reason of injury. Black Commanche must perform a Satisfactory Trial pursuant to GAR 127(a), before any future nomination will be accepted.
