Race 7 MEADOWSET GRAPHICS STAKES - C2/3 - 527 KEEN REWARD was scratched due to suffering from scours and an elevated temperature. MEGA BYTES was 30 minutes late being scratched after gaining a start in race two from the reserves list and the Secretary initially did not realize that the dog was in the field for this race. The T.A.B were reluctant to place the reserve dog HOT DISCOVERY back into the field at that stage but the Secretary was also not able to contact the Trainer Mr B.Hughes. Taking into account all the circumstances, no charges were preferred on this occasion but the Secretary was reminded of her obligations to check the fields with care.
