Incident Reports

Race Number	Race Name	Incident Report
Race 1	The Brownzy Sports Bar Sprint - C4 - 318	DOLLY SCRAMBLE was last to jump. The favourite HONG KONG LOUIE was keen to get away from the rail and in doing so checked itself and tightened AUSTIN WILD and CHA CHA CHAINSAW. HONG KONG LOUIE was himself tightened as VALIDICTION crossed the rail into the bend and lost more ground. CHA CHA CHAINSAW was subject to a post race veterinary check that revealed a grazed pad with a ten day stand down recommended.
Race 2	Trophies Plus Sprint - C0 - 318	EXCITING GIRL, WHATA LADY and SHIFTY BIT NIFTY were all slow to begin. TOP CAT ran into the back of SAND QUEEN into the bend and lost ground.
Race 3	Greyhounds North Maiden Distance Series Final - C0df - 603	SMASH BANG WIN was the last to leave the boxes. DECADENT checked outwards off JOHN DEED into the first bend and continued to run wide into the first bend.
Race 4	McGhie Plumbing Stakes - C0 - 527	The favourite EDWARD CULLEN was last to jump but made ground throughout the event to record an impressive win. TATA SAFARI received a couple of checks in the early stages and ran wide around the first bend losing ground. STRAPPED FORCASH appeared to be slightly lame after the race but after cooling down a veterinary check could find no abnormalities.
Race 5	Sel's TAB Mangere Stakes - C1/2 - 527	SURFING AL was the last to jump. SURFING AL ran inwards into the first bend coming together with MISS JETSUN for a stride with BIT OF VISION receiving tightening and losing ground as a result.
Race 6	Reel-Fishin.com Sprint - C2 - 318	THRILLING RAY was slow to jump and then hit the running rail free of interference into the bend losing many lengths. A post race veterinary check revealed no injury. The favourite SO DEEP attempted to get to the outside in the back straight and in doing so came together with GEMZ on a couple of occasions losing momentum. He ran on fairly in the home straight when in the clear. When questioned in regards to the effort of SO DEEP trainer Glennis Farrell confirmed to Stewards that the dog is not suited to inside draws.
Race 7	$50,000 Terminating Pick6 Stakes - C1 - 527	IMAGINATION and PAMPEST were the last to jump with CHERRY TREE LANE also being a shade dilatory as she came up with the lids. The favourite HUSTLER jumped awkwardly and then was tightened into the first bend and then further hampered soon after as SHIRONA came off the fence. BE DELICIOUS was also tightened in this incident. HUSTLER was never in contention thereafter.
Race 8	Carols TABS Sprint - C1 - 318	A combination of FLYING WHALE running outwards and HIT DA NOS running inwards ensured that PRIMED TO DASH and HOTWAX were deprived of racing room with both runners losing considerable ground into the bend.
Race 9	Magness Benrow Stakes - C4/5 - 527	KILARA'S FANCY angle inwards soon after the jump causing UNION STEAM, AIN'T NO SAINT, PRINCESS SHILOH and BEATRIX KIDDO all to be checked and lose ground. PRINCESS SHILOH shifted outwards on the first bend pushing UNION STEAM wider around that bend.
Race 10	Auckland Vending Sprint - C5 - 318	NATURAL JOURNEY was the last to jump finishing well for third. Favourite BENGINEER came together with TRUE INTENTIONS into the bend as he attempted to get to the outside with both dogs losing ground. BENGINEER recovered to finish a close fifth.

Race 11	Bethells Farmstay for Dogs on Facebook Sprint - C3 - 318	THRILLING JAFFA rolled outwards slightly on the home turn coming into contact with FIVE KAY KAT with both dogs losing momentum. CORPORAL JONES fell at the lure with a post race veterinary check revealing no injury.
