Stipendiary Stewards Report

Palmerston North Greyhound Racing Club

Manawatu Raceway ON MONDAY 17 Jun 2019

Weather: Fine
Track: Good Track was presented in a good racing condition being well maintained throughout. All other equipment operated well ( 410 m boxes refer judicial )
Scales: Correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: Race 11- 410 m the Stewards declared a no race under rule 52 after the boxes failed to activate when the lure tripped the switch -the starter pressed the button when he realised this to open the boxes with the lure travelling some distance ahead of the field in to the bend and again in the home straight.
After viewing the replay it was clear that it was an unfair start to the runners with the lure being well down the track as the field jumped away.
All runners from this race are to receive a share of 50% of the stake due to a mechanical failure as per the rules.
The lure driver was spoken to regarding the long lure in the early part of the home straight. with his explanation being accepted.
The starter has been spoken to and advised that he should keep clear of the boxes after the all clear to start is given so that if the lids don't trip the start is not activated as the lure will have travelled too far.
Another set of boxes will be in place for next weeks meeting.
An inquiry has been opened and adjourned in to allegations of abusive threatening behaviour between handlers at the lure after race 7
