RACE REPORTS

MAIDEN – 366M BAFFIN was best to begin, ORANGE OAK ROAD was extremely slow. ELLINGTON shifted in and checked into ITSA PATCHY immediately after the start, causing both greyhounds to lose ground. EL SHAK and FIRE FLY CODY raced tight inside the first 100m, with EL SHAK shifting to the outside shortly after. Approaching the 200m point, FIRE FLY JAKE shifted in and checked with RUSSIAN ROULETTE. The greyhound ORANGE OAK ROAD underwent a post race veterinary examination and no apparent injuries were found. Stewards’ spoke to licensed trainer, Mr M Attard, who was handler of the greyhound ORANGE OAK ROAD, in relation to the greyhound’s performance, particularly its start. Mr Attard explained that he had chosen to give the greyhound a preview before the race to see whether it would be of a benefit to the greyhound’s performanance, but in fact now believed it was detrimental to the greyhound’s effort and particularly the start as the greyhound was too wound up.
