Steward's Report
A pre-race sample was taken from Beast Unleashed.
Brayden Lennox was slow to begin. Taking Aim, Brayden Lennox and Dazzling Liesel collided soon after the start. Taking Aim, Beast Unleashed and Mepunga Bella collided on the first turn, causing Mepunga Bella to race wide. Beast Unleashed checked off Mepunga Bella on the second turn. Brayden Lennox checked off Huge Allen on the second turn. Taking Aim checked off Dazzling Liesel approaching the home turn. Beast Unleashed and Mepunga Bella collided on the home turn.
Stewards opened an investigation into failure of operational staff to close the apron/flap on the catching pen gate in timely manner, which resulted in Mepunga Bella passing through and being caught by club staff, and then Taking Aim and Beast Unleashed to collide with the same apron/flap upon closing.
A veterinarian examination revealed Beast Unleashed sustained a left foreleg monkey muscle injury (a seven day stand down period was imposed); Taking Aim sustained an abrasion to the left foreleg and a small laceration over left eye (no stand down period was imposed); and Mepunga Bella sustained an abrasion to the right foreleg (no stand down period was imposed).
The Catching Pen Attendant was stood down immediately and indefinitely from acting in in this position and the matter was referred to the Sandown Club for further remediation. A full explanation is to be provided by the Club in due course. The matter was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
Supplementary Report from Race 2 on Sunday 25 February 2018 - Sandown.
The inquiry that was opened and adjourned on the day into this incident has now been completed from the Stewrads perspective. The Sandown Club has provided Stewards with some further information and advised that the staff member has been both sanctioned by way of being stood-down indefinatley from acting in this posiition and counselled as to the importance and possible consequences that these types of incidents can have to greyhounds and their connections. Sandown have also put measures in place around the allocation of staff roles on raceday that will further reduce the possibility of future incidents from occurring. The oppurtunity was also taken to re-affirm to all staff the importance of race-day officials acting with upmost care, responsibility and professionalism on race days.
