Following the event Glacier Boy displayed signs of Post Exercise Distress Syndrome (PEDS). As a result the greyhound was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound displayed clinical signs of Ataxia/Hypermetria. A 28 day stand down period was imposed. Stewards spoke to Mr Brent Merton, the trainer of Glacier Boy and advised him that the greyhound would be closely monitored in future events. Mr Brent Merton stated he is going to retire the greyhound after today. Stewards noted Mr Mertons explanation and took no futher action.
