Race 8. Prior to this race a complaint was received from the Head Kennel Steward (Mrs D.Green) that no Handler had arrived to commence pre race procedures for Gold Strike (N.P.Green). Following immediate investigation it was determined that the designated Handler for Gold Strike, Mr G. Calverley, had been involved in an ordered post race veterinary examination of the greyhound Friendly Virus as a result of information received by the Stipendiary Steward from another Trainer in relation to 'the appearance' of a front leg condition during the initial examination at kennelling and consequently Mr Calverley had overlooked the reporting time for this race. This was confirmed by Mr J Mason, Officiating Veterinary Surgeon. Following consideration of the circumstances Mr Calverley was issued with a final warning.
Mr Mason advised the Stipendiary Steward of the nature of the greyhound's leg condition and following discussion his explanation was accepted and noted.
