The start of this event was delayed slightly due to a greyhound being difficult to place in the starting boxes. Whilst there was a delay between boxing the last greyhound and the remaining field runners being boxed, Stewards were of the opinion that no runner had been prevented from participating on equal terms and no runner had its chances materially prejudiced. Stewards subsequently declared all clear on the judges’ semaphored placings.
Stewards directed trainer Ms. J. Newnham to have Calibration handled by a more experienced handler for future race starts.
