Race 9	Gary Caffell Stakes Six Pack Sprint - C5 - 375	The box lids appeared to be slow to open and the video replays confirmed this. The Club were advised of the matter and confirmed that a thorough inspection will be made of the boxes and the problem rectified prior to the next meeting. The payout was held up while the start was checked by the Stewards and it was then confirmed that the start was fair to all runners and the payout authorised. ADDIS JAY jumped in from the start and checked CAPTAIN HASTINGS who settled at the rear. SCOTT NO WIVES was checked on the first corner and went back onto POWERFUL ENEMY and ADDIS JAY and all three lost several lengths and all chance with POWERFUL ENEMY and ADDIS JAY being the most affected and they finished at the rear.
