*************
Prior to Race 12, Trainer D.Fahey, expressed concern to Stewards in relation to several pad injuries having been detected during the meeting. Stewards advised Mr Fahey that this matter had been discussed with the Track Maintenance Manager, Starter and Veterinary Surgeon without a conclusive reason for those pad injuries being ascertained however additional track maintenance had taken place during the meeting as a precautionary measure. Stewards inspected the 527 mtr starting area of the track again after Race 12 which revealed no obvious problem and relayed the concerns received onto Club Management for further consideration. There were 4 reported pad injuries (3 in Race 7 and 1 in Race 14) for the meeting.

The recommended stand down by the Officiating Veterinary Surgeon was 7 days under Rule 82.1. Following discussion between Mr Fahey and the Veterinary Surgeon about the injury Mr Fahey advised Stewards that he would begin immediate treatment of it and was very hopeful that repair could be achieved quickly. He also advised Stewards that provided the treatment was successful, he would be requesting a review of the stand down restriction imposed in accordance with Rule 82.5 as the greyhound is entered for the Waikato GRC meeting on 24.12.06.
***************
Race 7. Palone (M.Robinson) recorded a 1.6kg underweight variance at kennelling however following a pre race veterinary examination was a late scratching due to dehydration / travel stress and a 2 day stand down period from racing imposed.
