Stipendiary Stewards Report

Christchurch Greyhound Racing Club

Addington Raceway ON THURSDAY 28 Jul 2011

Weather: Fine
Track: Good The meeting was in doubt earlier in the week due to an abundance of snow on the whole racecourse. However the situation markedly improved on Wednesday afternoon and further improvement on the morning of the races left the track in a satisfactory condition for racing. It was noticed after Race 4 that the outside clip on the boxes had not fastened into place prior to the start. This was attended to before the next sprint start and no further problems were experienced.
Scales: Correct at all weights
