GENERAL

 

 

Race 1

FAIRY JET was best to begin.  Shortly after the start EUROA MYSTERIO was tightened for room between ADY GIL and EARLY HARVEST and lost ground.  In the back straight MISS TAYAH was severely checked when attempting a run between DAISY CAN DO and HERE DE ANGELS.  As a result MISS TAYAH lost considerable ground.  EUROA MYSTERIO and DAISY CAN DO both raced very widely on the track passing the 600m boxes and continued to do so for the remainder of the event.

 

Race 2

GO WILD DESIRE was best to begin.  DESSA BY CHANCE began slowly.  Entering the back straight DESSA BY CHANCE and PREMIER LANE bumped at the rear of the field.  Passing the 600m boxes DON’T KNOCK IT was held up for a run behind FOXY TEMPO.  CATCH IT speared off  of its own accord approaching the home turn and continued to race widely for the remainder of the event.

 

The greyhound DESSA BY CHANCE was vetted and found to be to dehydrated and was stood down for a period of 10 days.

 

Race 3

MAN POWER and JAZZ IT UP were both slowly away.  Entering the 1st bend HANIFY’S ROSE shifted outwards and as a result bumped MAN POWER.  Entering the back straight JAMANDA and JAY HOUSTON checked off the heels of ALL MISCHIEF resulting in JAMANDA and JAY HOUSTON losing considerable ground.  HANIFY’S ROSE which was following these 2 greyhounds was also inconvenienced and lost ground.  JAZZ IT UP raced extremely wide on the course down the back straight.

 

Race 4

TELLY AND JAY, HOT TIGER and KNOCKA’S WEB all began slowly.  At the start LADY OF FIVE shifted in abruptly.  As a result WILD DAISY was hampered and lost ground.  Entering the back straight LADY OF FIVE appeared to get on the heels of BLUE RADLER and as a result lost ground.  Passing the 600m boxes BLUE RADLER was tightened for room between HOT TIGER and KNOCKA’S WEB as KNOCKA’S WEB was gaining ground.

 

Race 5

Even start.  BLACK BARBARIAN was tightened for room at the start between TOBASCO LAD and COOL MARIA.  TOBASCO LAD and COOL MARIA raced tightly and bumped entering the 1st bend.  COOL LARIA checked off the hindquarters of BLACK BARBARIAN to shift to the outside of the track approaching the home turn.

 

The greyhound WHITE FEVER was vetted and no apparent injuries were found.

 

Race 6

Shortly after the start FOOLISH MAID shifted outwards and as a result collided with TRAIN A LASS who was hampered.  Leaving the straight on the 1st occasion TRAIN A LASS shifted out and collided with BEER IS BETTER with both greyhounds becoming unbalanced and losing considerable ground.  Approaching the home turn KAMIKAZE MAGPIE when attempting to get inside HONEY BRASS checked and shifted to the outside of that greyhound.

 

Race 7

CAPED CRUISADER dwelt at the start and lost considerable ground.  Shortly after the start ANNA’S INTENT was tightened for room inside SEE YOU TOMORROW.  Leaving the straight on the 1st occasion CAPED CRUISADER was disappointed for a run as it attempted to rail inside FIVE GOLD RINGS.   Shortly after this ANNA’S INTENT and CAPED CRUISADER collided at the rear of the field.

 

Race 8

Even start.  Shortly after the start PRETTY LADY DI was tightened for room between BLUE BUD and RED BOMB.  Entering the back straight LEICA JACKAROO checked off the hindquarters of BLUE BUD losing ground.  RED BOMB was also hampered in this incident.

 

Race 9

Even start.  Entering the 1st bend FEAR OF THUNDER was tightened for room inside SIR LANKAN.  Approaching the 600m boxes VINTAGE QUINTET crossed down towards the rail and as a result SHAZAND was tightened for room and lost some ground.  FEAR OF THUNDER continued to lose considerable ground over the duration of the event.

 

Stewards interviewed trainer Mabelle Dance regarding the performance of the greyhound FEAR OF THUNDER tonight which in the stewards’ opinion raced disappointingly.  Whilst the veterinary surgeon found a slight injury with the greyhound stewards were concerned with the greyhound’s performance tonight.  Mrs. Dance advised stewards that the greyhound had not started for some time and she also was disappointed with the performance. Bearing in mind the  injury and the lack of recent racing stewards took no further action in relation to tonight’s performance.  Stewards informed Mrs. Dance that the future performances of the greyhound would be monitored.

 

The greyhound FEAR OF THUNDER was vetted and found to have suffered an injury to the near side hip and was stood down for a period of 10 days.

 

Race 10

CHINEY APPLE was slowly away.  Entering the 1st bend CHINEY APPLE checked off the hindquarters of GRUMPY POET and lost ground.  HURRY HAROLD commenced to race widely in the back straight.  CHEEK CYCLONE was tightened between BO ZORRA and SMART ENFORCER passing the 600m boxes.  Approaching the home turn GRUMPY POET who was making ground had to be checked off the heels of BO ZORRA to make ground on that greyhound’s outside.  Rounding the home turn CHEEKY CYCLONE and SMART ENFORCER bumped on several occasions.

 

The greyhound CHINEY APPLE was vetted and no apparent injuries were found.
