Steward's Report
Stewards spoke to R. Crawford, Trainer of Heard It Before regarding the length of time the greyhound has had between racing. Heard It Before last raced on 29 July 2015. Mr. Crawford stated that the greyhound is a new addition to his kennel.
Pursuant to GAR 31(3), Stewards extended the close of kennels by 20 minutes after heavy congestion on the Monash Freeway.
A pre-race sample was taken from Georgia upon arrival at the course, prior to kennelling.
