HEATH MAIDEN 380M The start of this event was delayed
5 minutes due to a power failure which affected the venue and surrounding
area. ALWAYS A DIVA jumped out abruptly at
the start resulting in interference to PARTY FOR TWO, ARMADA, PINK CADILLAC,
STORM BREAKER and PEARSON PRIDE. Approaching
the top turn LISTEN CAPTAIN shifted in onto the running of ALWAYS A DIVA
which was severely checked. PINK
CADILLAC, STORM BREAKER and PEARSON PRIDE were all checked at the top turn.
PEARSON PRIDE and ARMADA were both wide at the home turn. When questioned in relation to the
seemingly improved performance of the greyhound LISTEN CAPTAIN Trainer Ms. J Newnham stated that although she was surprised by
the win, the greyhound had trialled well at home during the week. Ms. Newnham also stated that LISTEN CAPTAIN, which had a
tendency to be field shy was suited by the outside box draw in tonight’s
event and that interference to the majority of the field in running had also
aided LISTEN CAPTAIN which had enjoyed a trouble fee run. Stewards accepted Ms.
Newnham’s explanation. |
