examination and no apparent injuries were found. Handler of the greyhound Mr. W. Dunstall
was questioned in regards to the greyhound’s performance particularly over
the concluding stages, in which it appeared to give ground. Mr. Dunstall advised that connections were
confident of the greyhound’s chances in this event, however he felt the
greyhound was forced wide throughout the race. He believed this might have
contributed to the greyhound’s weakening over the concluding stages. Stewards
noted Mr. Dunstall’s comments. |

commitment. After taking evidence from

significant ground. The greyhound JUST MY SIZE underwent a post-race veterinary

Mr. Waterhouse stated that in hindsight the greyhound should have been
trialled over the 520m distance prior to this start and that his plan is to
trial the greyhound over the 520m prior to nominating further. Stewards noted the interference suffered by
the greyhound in the 1st turn although did advise Mr. Waterhouse
that this performance was bordering on unsatisfactory. |
