Stipendiary Stewards Report

Otago Greyhound Racing Club

Forbury Park Raceway ON TUESDAY 08 Jan 2013

Weather: Cloudy
Track: Good The starting boxes were observed to be leaving the ground slightly at the point of opening in some races. Stewards were satisfied that no dogs were inconvenienced as a result of this movement and the Club has undertaken to make adjustments in order to rectify this before the next meeting.
Scales: Correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: Trainer Marcie Flipp was questioned after one of her dogs escaped from her van and ran around the outskirts of the track at the end of a race. After hearing from Ms Flipp Stewards determined that no negligence was involved and issued her with a warning. Ms Flipp informed Stewards that she would be making some adjustments to the interior of her van to ensure this did not reoccur. Handler Lisa Grant was questioned after a dog that was being swabbed escaped from her. It was established that a borrowed lead that was being used had been chewed through and broke when the dog became agitated. No further action was deemed necessary.
