Meeting Comments:-

Satisfactory Trial Results - Tiger Tees trialled over the 425mts from box 5, weight 25.4kg, the greyhound was placed 2 in a field of 4. The time of the trial was 24.07, the greyhound was beaten by a margin of 1.5L. Tiger Tees was cleared. 

Stewards opened an inquiry into the reason for the wrong dog being removed from the trial kennels and being trialled. After taking evidence from trainer Ms. S. Gray, kennel attendants Mr. K. Blake and Ms. J. Warzywoda Stewards adjourned the enquiry to consider the evidence tendered. 

Stewards at Bendigo on 2/5/18 concluded an inquiry regarding the incorrect greyhound being removed from the trial kennels at Bendigo on 28th March 2018 and being trialled. After taking evidence from handlers Mr. K. Blake and Ms. J. Warzwoda and licensed trainers Mrs S. Gray and Mr. C. Blake Stewards established that there had been a misunderstanding between Mr K. Blake and Mr. C. Blake. As Stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that any one party was totally responsible for the incident occurring no action was taken other than to strongly advise Mr K. Blake to review his procedures when retrieving greyhounds from the kennels. Mr K. Blake stated that since the incident on 28th March 2018 he had indeed changed his procedures and been extra vigilant when performing his duties as a kennel attendant.
