After reviewing the patrol footage, Stewards questioned Mr Russell in regards to the greyhound’s actions through the turn into the front straight. Mr Russell commented that due to the significant interference, the greyhound had been turned outwards and became unbalanced through the turn. In considering whether any suspension should be imposed on Hara’s Olaf, stewards took into consideration Mr Russell’s comments, the level of interference sustained and were of the opinion that the benefit of the doubt should be afforded on this occasion and that no penalty be imposed. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.
