Stewards spoke to G Hunt, trainer of the greyhound Cudgee Destroyer regarding the greyhound performing under market expectations.  Mr Hunt stated that the greyhound was kept wide throughout the majority of the race and this prevented him racing in his normal race pattern (which is a strong middle section).  Mr Hunt informed stewards that he would notify them if any matter arises that may have affected Cudgee Destroyer's performance.  Stewards noted Mr Hunt's explanation and directed that a sample be taken from the greyhound.
