GENERAL

 

Race 1 – Maiden 410m

SMART CHIC was the best to begin.  MAGIC WISP was slow to begin.  IN THE BAZZA was tightened for racing room and lost ground prior to turning into the back straight.  PRINCE KIASH was tightened for racing room entering the back straight and checked off ONE FOOT BEHIND.  PRINCE KIASH was inspected by the veterinarian after the race.

 

Race 2 – 5th Grade 410m

BLUEFIRE CHALICE was the best to begin.  COSMIC LAMP was slow to begin.  GO FINN checked off CALL ME CHARLES and lost ground shortly after the start.  GO FINN checked off EXPRESS PASS and lost ground entering the back straight.  RHONDA’S TEARS checked off CALL ME CHARLES and lost ground prior to turning into the front straight resulting in interference to WILDASH PLUMBOB.

 

Stewards questioned the racing manners of GO FINN in particular on the turn into the front straight,.  After viewing the film and speaking to the trainer, E. Bryant, GO FINN was stood down from racing for a period of 28 days and the completion of a satisfactory trail, under the provisions of GAR69, for marring.  EXPRESS PASS was severely checked as a result of the incident.

 

Race 3 – 5th Grade 410m

Even start with IMPOSING SIND slow to begin.  General tightening occurred on the turn into the back straight as LEE LARNI shifted in from a wide position tightening SUPER STORY in on to SCOTTISH CLAN on to SELFIE on to WILDASH MONTE resulting in all those greyhounds losing ground.  IMPOSING SIND checked off the heels of THANK YOU POP and lost ground prior to tuning into the front straight.  IMPOSING SIND shifted out and bumped SELFIE in the front straight resulting in both greyhounds being inconvenienced.

 

Race 4 – 4th Grade 410m

VAPOUR FLIGHT was the best to begin.  BLACK DENIM and MY FIRST NINJA were slow to begin.  CASH QUEEN and VAPOUR FLIGHT bumped on the turn into the back straight resulting in CASH QUEEN becoming unbalanced and losing ground causing interference to ETOPIA and MY FIRST NINJA.  STARZAR GOLD shifted out across the heels of CASH QUEEN on the turn into the front straight forcing MY FIRST NINJA to race wide.

 

Race 5 – Best 8 410m

Even start with GOT IT WRONG marginally slow to begin.  General tightening occurred on the turn into the back straight resulting in the entire field with the exception of FEARS THE WORD being inconvenienced.  SINDARYN was tightened for racing room between SHAKE YOUR BOOTY and FOUR PAWZA POWER on the turn out of the back straight resulting in SINDARYN losing ground and SHAKE YOUR BOOTY being inconvenienced.
