Judicial report: Weather: Fine Race 3. Lady Barbie (F.D.Farmer) was an automatic late scratching due to being 1.8kg over weight compared to its previous race start. The greyhound was not eligible for a reweigh under the 28 day rule therefore the trainer incurred a $100 fine under Rule 269.3.
Handlers are reminded that they must stand to the rear of the starting boxes once their greyhound has been boxed and not to the side or front of the boxes. Race Starter's will be reminded of their duties and authority under Rule 302.5.
