Midnight Minx was a late scratching at 6.10pm on the advice of the Club's Veterinary Surgeon due to illness.  A 7 day stand down period was imposed.

A pre-race sample was taken from Pistol.

Aruma Girl and Buckle Up Todd collided soon after the start.  No Guarantees was checked off Aruma Girl on the first turn.  Lucky's Spirit, Indira's Girl and Pistol collided on the first turn.  No Guarantees was checked off Buckle Up Todd approaching the home turn.  Indira's Girl and Special Member collided on the home turn checking both greyhounds, Special Member stumbled as a result.  Indira's Girl was checked off Lucky's Spirit entering the home straight and collided with Buckle Up Todd.

Stewards noted that the lure was being moved into the correct starting position later than the normal time, as the greyhounds were parading to the boxes.  Stewards spoke to lure driver Mr. S. Courts regarding this incident, Mr. Courts stated that he was waiting for the call to initiate the 'stir up' prior to the greyhounds parading which did not occur as there was no 'stir up' required.  Stewards advised Mr. Courts that it was his responsibility to have the lure in the correct starting position before the greyhound parade.  Stewards also referred the matter to the appropriate manager.
