Incident Reports
| Race Number | Race Name | Incident Report |
|---|---|---|
| Race 1 | Jo's TAB Mangere Sprint - C2/3 - 318 | Favourite ELLY'S GIRL and PREDATOR DRONE were the last to jump. PREDATOR DRONE was then tightened for a stride soon after the jump. BINGO STARR was held up between runners into the bend and lost momentum. He then shifted outwards pushing HARAJUKU GIRL wide around the bend with this runner dropping to the rear. |
| Race 2 | March Maiden Series Final - C0f - 318 | HOT PAL and EXACT MASTER were the last to jump. EXACT MASTER ran inwards at the jump checking STAR BOUND and HOT PAL who lost ground. HOT PAL dropped out running last with a post race veterinary check revealing pectoral muscle injury with a 21 day stand down recommended. MR. JACK MAGIC received a slight check into the bend losing a length with THRILLING CLOUD being inconvenienced. In the home straight TAKE ON ME ran inwards coming together with PICNIC TIME on two occasions losing momentum as a result. |
| Race 3 | The Brownzy Sports Bar Series Heat 1 - C1q - 318 Heat 1 | HOT HOPE was the last to jump. In a tightly compacted bunch ASTUTE WHIZ and KIWI GIRL were tightened in the early stages losing ground. No head on view was available for this race. |
| Race 4 | Replays on www.agrc.co.nz Sprint - C4 - 318 | JULIA NORRIS and PUNK DINO were the slowest from the traps. MOON WARROWER ran inwards sharply in the early stages pushing RHODA HOLMES inwards towards the rail with bad checks being suffered by JULIA NORRIS and PUNK DINO in behind these runners. RHODA HOLMES then got dragged down by MOON WARROWER and lost ground with MOON WARROWER being unbalanced and losing his chance. GLOW BELLE DOLL ran outwards on the home turn coming together with ASTON RED for a stride. Post race veterinary checks of RHODA HOLMES and MOON WARROWER revealed no injury. |
| Race 5 | The Brownzy Sports Bar Series Heat 2 - C1q - 318 Heat 2 | MARTYN STREET was last to jump. RANDO REASON ran inwards contacting HIT DA NOS for a stride soon after the jump. JOURNEY AGAIN angled inwards just prior to the bend causing severe checks to ROCKIN' IT, RANDO REASON and MARTYN STREET with ROCKIN' IT falling as a result. He completed the race with a post race veterinary check revealing pectoral and fascia lata muscle injuries with a ten day stand down recommended. Handler Tracey Craik was questioned in regards to the improved performance of the winner DECLARATION. She stated that the dog was recovering from a serious injury and had been getting closer to full fitness with recent trials which was shown up in a weight loss today. The trouble in behind her during today's race was also a factor in the success. |
| Race 6 | Thornton Auctions Stakes - C3/4 - 527 | LOCHINVAR LAREDO and MONSHIRAZ came together into the first bend when at the rear. On the home turn INDEED UNIQUE shifted outwards marginally pushing HUSTLER over extra ground. |
| Race 7 | $20,000 Pick6 Stakes - C1 - 527 | THRILLING NEWS was last to jump. THRILLING MARCH angled inwards in the early stages tightening IMAGINATION and THRILLING NEWS who lost ground. Into the first bend THRILLING MARCH checked outwards off THRILLING CHILL and into the path of MISS JETSUN who lost ground. |
| Race 8 | Jack's Wholesale Meats Stakes - C2 - 527 | JETSUN GENES was a clear last on jumping. The favourite ELEPHUNK was caught wide throughout covering extra ground but ran on in the straight for third. |
| Race 9 | Varvatos at Stud Stakes - C5 - 527 | This race was delayed by one minute at the request of Raceday Control. The lure lost power right on the finishing line with the leading dogs getting to within three metres of it. Authorisation of payment was delayed until Stewards had viewed replays of the concluding stages to determine whether any dogs had been "substantially inconvenienced in the running so as to affect the outcome of the race" as per Rule 75.1. After viewing many replays of the final stages Stewards were satisfied that no particular Greyhound had been substantially inconvenienced and that the outcome of the race was not affected by the slowing of the lure. Stewards took into account the fact that EMBLAZING had already reached the lead before the lure started to slow and that the second and third placegetters remained in their positions to the line. Accordingly placings were duly authorised. |
| Race 10 | Auckland Vending Sprint - C5 - 318 | ENOUGH IS ENOUGH was the last to jump. |
| Race 11 | Reel.Fishin.com Sprint Final - C4f - 318 | ROLLED OATS and PUNK PORTSEA were the last to jump. NATHAN'S CHAMP ran inwards in the back straight firstly coming together with GEMZ and then badly tightening AUSTIN WILD who lost ground dropping to the rear. |
| Race 12 | Trophies Plus Sprint - C2 - 318 | DOWNEY and EMMA JAY came together soon after the jump. MOODY TUNES was forced wide by BEARLY POSSIBLE in the early stages and then checked off that runner into the bend losing ground. |
