Stipendiary Stewards Report

Waikato Greyhound Racing Club

Cambridge Raceway ON FRIDAY 30 Dec 2011

Weather: Showery
Track: Good The track was presented in a very good racing order
Scales: correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: There was a false start in race ten when the lure did not trip the lids to open , the dogs were unloaded and checked by the vet with no problems being detected with any of the runners and all started in the race with the race being started manually with no further problems
The starter had activated the controls and it appears that the wet weather may had had a bearing on the false start
The boxes will be checked again before the next meeting
