VINCE CURRY
MEMORIAL MAIDEN IPS (G3) HEAT 3 520M The “All Clear” for this race was delayed to allow stewards’ the
opportunity to view the patrol film to ascertain whether the positioning of
the lure in the back straight, advantaged or disadvantaged any greyhound. After viewing the patrol film, stewards’
were satisfied that no greyhounds’ chances in the race were materially
affected by the placement of the lure and therefore gave the “All
clear”. LET’S WIN BILLY and NIKKI NETTLE were best to begin. Leaving the front straight, MANACLES was
tightened for racing room, shifted out and collided with ROCKY SPIES, which
in turn, shifted out and collided with INFRARED STAR, resulting in all
greyhounds to be checked and lose ground.

lost ground. Shortly after, CAESER’S
WARRIOR was tightened for racing room, checked and lost ground. In the front straight, LET’S WIN BILLY and
MANACLES collide on a number of occasions. Stewards’ question trainer, B Kitchener, in regards to the greyhound
LET’S WIN BILLY actions throughout the race, in particular, rounding the turn
out of the front straight and then again entering the front straight. After considering all available evidence,
stewards’ could not be comfortably satisfied that the greyhound had offended
under any rule, and therefore gave it the benefit of a grave doubt. |
