HOMEBUSH WILLY finished on in the straight wide out for third, with the other dogs finishing towards the rear of the field. A long lure was reported by stewards for this race, and again the lids did not activate as the lure passed over the sensor on the running rail, but soon afterwards. The circumstances appeared identical to those experienced in the earlier race from the 520m start. After viewing the race film the payment of dividends was authorised. Following this event the Club Electrician checked both the 295m and 520m boxes, reporting that batteries at both boxes were fully charged. His only explanation was that given the extreme nor west winds being experienced during the afternoon, there was the possibility of dust and sand affecting the solenoids in each set of boxes. Manual starts were performed for the balance of races at the meeting.

The starter reported that this race commenced when the sensor activated the box lids as the lure passed, and prior to the starter activating a manual start. A review of the race film showed the lure to be at the rear of the boxes as the lids activated with the lure moving clear of the dogs. Payment of dividends was authorised after viewing the race film. There was on the night a serious problem with both the 295m and 520m boxes, which follows on from a series of similar but not identical incidents with the boxes at three of the four previous race days. The Club CEO has been requested to have both sets of boxes fully examined both mechanically and electrically as well as tested prior to the next meeting, which features the NZ Cup Final and Galaxy Final. A separate report on the boxes has been forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer, Wellington.
