From 19/01/2020: Stewards received a report from the Racing Queensland Graders regarding the eligibility of Ramblin’ Rose, which competed in Race 12 at the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club on Sunday, 19 January 2020 and subsequently placed first.

Stewards were advised that on 12 January 2020, Ramblin’ Rose won a masters race at the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club with a winning time of 19.33. The time standard for the Albion Park 331m is 19.43.
