Weather:
Track: Good Firm

Judicial report: Weather: Cloudy Trainer J.Dunn was given permission to scratch seven Greyhounds with no penalty imposed This was due to the very bad weather causing severe disruption to Inter Island ferry sailings over the weekend which prevented Mr Dunn from returning to his home from the Wanganui meeting on 22.05.09 in sufficient time to safely return to Manawatu.
Trainer K.Cox was issued with a final warning after being late to kennel his dog TALKABOUT BLISS.
