General:

Following the finish of Race 5 Stewards viewed the race replay in relation to the lure location when the start was effected. It was clearly shown on the replay that as the greyhounds were leaving the boxes the lure was positioned in line with the greyhounds.

However after watching the replay several times Stewards were satisfied that no runners were impeded and they all chased the lure with due commitment. Stewards notified all clear for the race on the judges semaphored numbers.
