At least 7 dogs sustained injuries involving pads and nails and the abandonment was taken to prevent any further injury to dogs yet to race.
Judicial report: Weather: Fine but cold with the odd snow shower JT McINERNEY was fined $100.00 for a breach of Rule 69.11 when ELITE BAXTER, a starter in Race 6 weighed in 1.6kgs over his last race start weight.
