Health and Safety comment:
Judicial report: Weather: Fine A Judicial hearing was held to determine the elegibility of the greyhound Kiwi Fire (GC Farrell) to compete in race 5, a C1 318 sprint. The Judicial Chairman accepted that notwithstanding that the dog had been correctly nominated for a class 2 race on the 4 June 2004, such nomination had been altered at the NZGRA office and the dog placed into the C1 field. The Chairman ordered that Kiwi Fire be withdrawn from the race.
The trainer PJ Clark presented the greyhound Jodoman with an excess weight variance
(-1.6) in terms of Rule 269. The dog was scratched, and the trainer fined $100.00.
In the matter of a charge brought at the AGRC meeting on the 6 May 2004, against handler Mervyn O'Brien, for failing to furnish information to the Stipendiary Steward in terms of Rule 130 (by providing false information), the Judicial Chairman in a reserved decision, found the charge proven and following submissions as to penalty, imposed a fine of $600.00 against O'Brien.
