The greyhound LORD BAKER was declared ‘hard to box’.

Race 2

Entering the home straight on the 1st occasion SHARP RIVAL appeared to sustain a serious injury and came to a stop around near the winning post.  The rest of the field continued.  Attempts to capture SHARP RIVAL was unsuccessful.  The greyhound then moved back into the face of the field.  With a view to the welfare of the other greyhounds involved the lure driver decided to pull the lure up as it entered the home straight on the 2nd occasion.  As a result this race was declared a ‘No race’.

Stewards interviewed trainer Tony Zammit the trainer of TIZZA TOKEN in regard to the greyhounds performance in this race tonight.  Whilst stewards conceded to Mr. Zammit that the greyhound met interference on a couple of occasions , they were still disappointed with the overall performance of the greyhound particularly over the final section of the race. Mr. Zammit advised stewards that the greyhound had been buffeted around a couple of runs at Brisbane of late and he thought that moving the greyhound to a different location tonight may assist.  He suggested that he may trial the greyhound again on its own to set in his own mind that the greyhound was performing at its optimum level.His explanations were noted.

 

The greyhound TIZZA TOKEN was vetted and no apparent injuries were found.

 

Race 5

Stewards interviewed trainer Philip Shaxson regarding the performance of MUCKERT’S ROSE.  Although this greyhound did meet some interference early in the race Mr. Shaxson agreed with stewards that the greyhound did no finish the event as well as he had hoped.  Mr. Shaxson further advised stewards that it was his intention to try the greyhound in lesser company perhaps at a northern track.

 

The greyhound MUCKERT’S ROSE was vetted and no apparent injuries were found.
