Track: Good Good
Scales: Correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment:

Judicial report: Weather: Fine Trainer JM Jopson was fined $50.00 for a breach of Rule 69.11. when DANCE JUDGE weighed in 1.2 kgs under his last race weight on 13 March 2008.
Club secretary Mr T Music was questioned in regards to the scratching of PAXTON BALE. He stated that there was a confusion in communications between himself and AC Roberts the trainer of PAXTON BALE. This was in part due to the nominations being taken on a raceday with a number of distractions. In this instance Mr Music was issued with a warning to ensure that if this situation occurs again sufficient personnel are available to perform the duties.

Race 2	SPEIGHTS SIX PACK - C1/2d - 645	The lure broke down after about 100 metres due to a burnt rectifier. All dogs were then checked by the veterinarian with KOSTYA BALE and MR.
