Stewards spoke to trainer’s representative Mr S Essery regarding the greyhound’s actions for that stage of the event.

As this was the greyhound’s 2nd offence under this rule, Baby Big Buzz was suspended from racing at all tracks for 28 days and until the successful completion of a satisfactory steward’s trial. |
