The start of this event was delayed by 3 minutes due to the lure needing to be repositioned. Prior to this event, while the greyhounds were being paraded to the boxes the lure momentarily moved position. The greyhounds were taken off the track behind the 425m starting boxes to allow the lure to be repositioned to the correct starting point. Stewards spoke to Lure Driver Mr. Baldwin regarding the circumstances to the lure moving forward some distance as the greyhounds were parading. Mr Baldwin stated he cannot explain why the lure moved forward. Stewards noted Mr Baldwins comments and referred this matter to his Manager, Mr Scott McGowan.
