Stipendiary Stewards Report

Forbury Park Raceway ON TUESDAY 11 Sep 2012

Weather: Showery
Track: Heavy The meeting was conducted in appalling conditions with the track not able to be groomed between races but still providing safe footing. Stewards took these conditions into consideration when assessing performances throughout the day. The Trackside coverage was subject to abnormal atmospheric conditions making some replays very difficult to view.
Scales: Correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: ANOTHER SNAZZA (J McInerney) which was stood down at Addington on 31 August under Rule 68.26 was rechecked by the Veterinary Surgeon and found to be fit to race. Therefore under Rule 82.5 the stand down is rescinded. Trainers J Lane and R Wales were fined $100.00 under the Minor Infringements Table after OPAWA MIATA weighed in at 28.2 kgs which was 1.7 kgs under her last race weight on 28 August 2012.
