Judicial report: WALL AGE was a Club scratching when it was found that the dog was not eligible to run due to an oversight which occurred during field selection. BRITNEY STAR was a pre race swab in race 11 but when packaging the swabs at the end of the meeting, it was discovered that there had been a mistake with the numbering of the swab bottles and subsequently the details on the card, it was the Stewards decision to discard that swab.
