Steward's Report
Primal Biz, Lord Kitchener and Crafty Diamond were slow to begin. Highfield Stix checked off Held Hostage on the first turn checking Lord Kitchener. Held Hostage eased approaching the second turn and collided with Sparkling Star as a result. Crafty Diamond galloped on the heels of Held Hostage on the second turn checking Primal Biz and Lord Kitchener and severely checking Highfield Stix and Western Reign; Crafty Diamond fell as a result. Held Hostage eased on the home turn and in the home straight checking Sparkling Star.
Crafty Diamond was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound sustained an injury to its right coupling (back). A 10 day stand down period was imposed.
Held Hostage was vetted following the event and after being re-vetted following event 7, it was reported that there was no apparent injury found.
Stewards spoke to Mr. J. Jarkis, the representative of the greyhound Held Hostage regarding the greyhound's racing manners approaching the second turn and on the home turn. Acting under GAR 69(A)(1), stewards charged Held Hostage with failing to pursue the lure with due commitment. Mr. Jarkis pleaded guilty to the charge. Held Hostage was found guilty and suspended for 28 days at Ballarat and it was directed that the greyhound perform a Satisfactory Trial (all tracks), pursuant to GAR 69(A)(2)(a) before any future nomination will be accepted.
