SCOTTISH CLAN was the best to begin.  KNOCK THE TOP was slow to begin.  LAID BACK LOAD and BUCKAROO SUE bumped heavily approaching the turn into the back straight.  IGNORE THE NOISE was tightened for racing room between LIBERTY LEGS and MISS DENMARK on the turn into the back straight resulting in both greyhounds becoming unbalanced and losing ground causing interference to BUCKAROO SUE, SCORPIO JAY and KNOCK THE TOP.  BUCKAROO SUE shifted out approaching the turn into the front straight bumping heavily into LAID BACK LAD.

 

Stewards stood BUCKAROO SUE down from racing for a period of 28 days and the completion of a satisfactory trial for marring under GAR 69.

Stewards spoke to trainer Norm Bradford in relation to the performance of FROM THE TAP at the start.  Mr Bradford explained that he did not preview the greyhound and suggested that the different lure may have been a contributing factor to the dog’s performance.  Mr Bradford further stated that he would consider not starting the greyhound again in Townsville.  FROM THE TAP was inspected by the veterinarian who reported no abnormalities.  Subsequently Stewards acting under the provisions of GAR 71 stood FROM THE TAP down from racing in Townsville until the completion of a satisfactory trial for an unsatisfactory performance.
