|---|---|---|
| Race 1 | HAMILTON DISTANCE - C1d - 630 | The hot favourite Egyptian Gold took field out of first bend, led down back and held until straight entrance where the trailing Super Tod challenged strongly and took race in last strides. Hostile Deed trailed off in early running and a post race veterinary examination revealed a hock injury - the greyhound was the subject of a stand down. No 3 Hostile Deed (GA Lawrence). Rule 329 - hock strain. Stand down 10 days to 18.03.04. VC held. |
| Race 2 | CAMBRIDGE MAIDEN HEAT 1 - C0q - 457 Heat 1 | A sustained late run by Black Tibet, on debut, saw him claim the early pacemaker, Just Hasty, right on the line. Mystery Name showed early speed to be positioned handy with the leaders but was then galloped on by Ceramic - Mystery Name went to the rear and was out of contention. |
| Race 3 | CLUB HOUSE CAFE & BAR DASH - C0 - 375 | Grasscutter Bob was noticaebly slow, conceding ground. Black Tyler took the lead early and held well to the line. Pizza Bad Boy fell during the running when racing midfield and having been subjected to the field tightening about him. The dog leapt to his feet and finished the race. A post race veterinary examination cleared him of injury. |

| Race 6 | CAMBRIDGE MAIDEN HEAT 3 - C0q - 457 Heat 1 | The favourite Hostile Girlie showed speed in initial stage of race, holding until Thrilling Duke crossed from the outside draw to dispute the lead. As these two dogs went forward Thrilling Duke climbed over the back of Hostile Girlie, skewing that dog sideways and going down on his nose as he did so - both dogs recovered quickly and were still able to fill the first two places, Thrilling Duke prevailing. |
| Race 7 | HILLCREST TAVERN DASH - C1 - 375 | Go Tyler Go took the lead early with Lucky Lipinski in close pursuit - this order was the same at the line. Enrollment was squeezed for racing room in the middle stages and did well to finish on late for third. Farmer John and Mr Luke came into sharp shoulder contact entering the final bend but both dogs were then at rear and not really in concention. |
| Race 8 | IMPORVERS STAKES - C1 - 457 | Basil Faulty took field into bend - holding lead until Bozo Fulton took inner running and raced away to the line. Lumos Obliviate ran past a tiring Basil Faulty for second. |
| Race 9 | DINSDALE TAVERN DASH - C2 - 375 | The favourite, Faithful Mittens, slow to start, made no impact on the field from that point. Little Toot cleared away from the field for an impressive win. |
