When questioned over the performance of RING HIM, trainer Mr V Osborn, expressed his disappointment as the greyhound had raced well over the 600m, and he was expecting the greyhound to manage the distance.  He said that the greyhound races best when leading, and after receiving a check on the 1st turn, he was of the view that this may have contributed to its overall performance.  The greyhound RING HIM underwent a post race veterinary examination and no apparent injuries were found.
