Stipendiary Stewards Report

Palmerston North Greyhound Racing Club

Hatrick Raceway ON MONDAY 18 Apr 2011

Weather: Raining
Track: Good This meeting was scheduled to be held at Manawatu Raceway Palmerston North. However, the Central Districts Steward in Charge elected to request the transfer to Wanganui on Friday morning 15.04 11 when it was considered that while progress was being made in reinstating the Manawatu track to an acceptable standard for racing, it was considered that with inclement weather forecast in the next couple of days, the risk of the track not being ready was too great. The request to transfer was then made and granted by N.Z.G.R.A Management after consultation with the Wanganui Club Management
Scales: Checked and correct
Health and Safety comment: Nil

Judicial report: Nil
