Stipendiary Stewards Report

Wanganui Greyhound Racing Club

Hatrick Raceway ON WEDNESDAY 29 Feb 2012

Weather: Fine
Track: Good
Scales: Checked and correct
Health and Safety comment: Nil

Judicial report: The recent inquiries being made into an alleged verbal altercation involving Wanganui Greyhound Club employees has been concluded with no further action being taken other than to warn Curator C.Butlin and he was advised that any further indiscretions of a similar nature may not be treated with the same leniency.
Trainer A Speight was fined $ 100-00 under Rule 69.11 when HOME BREWER was presented 1.8 kilograms over its last start weight on 20.02.2012.
STONES RIVER was a late scratching when not presented after the dog regained the field from 2nd reserve in race 9. The Trainer A.Speight advised the Stewards that she had not received notification of the dog gaining a start as she has recently changed her phone number. The Club had made several attempts to contact her on her previous number and as result, Ms Speight was instructed that in future if she has a reserve dog, she should make contact with the Club on race morning to ascertain if her dog has regained a field and no further action was taken on this occasion.

Race 9	Couper Catering C1/2 - C1/2 - 305	TRICKY PAULA raced wide into the bend forcing the favourite ANOTHER LEGIN to race even wider over extra ground.
