Stewards questioned trainer’s representative Mr. J Judd of the greyhound PRATER’S RECRUIT on the greyhound’s seemingly improved performance. Mr. Judd stated that in his opinion the greyhound is of sound ability, and had trialled at the track in a very competitive time over 431m, however has had issues with its racing manners in the recent past.  Mr. Judd further stated the connections did support the greyhound on this occasion.  At this stage the greyhound is not nominated elsewhere however, Mr. Judd expects that it will return to race over the 431m distance at Ipswich in the near future. Stewards advised that future performances will be closely monitored.
