Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: SNICKLE FRITZ (J McInerney) was a late scratching in Race 5. Due to a communication error the scratching was notified in time but to a cellphone that is no longer used by the club. Efforts with the TAB to reinstate the first emergency were unsuccessful due to the fact that betting has already commenced on the race.
