The stewards spoke to trainer Mr John Rennie in relation to the non arrival of Leeroy Rox and subsequent late scratching. Mr Rennie claimed that he had scratched the greyhound prior to the offical scratching time by phone however no record of this conversation could be found. Taking into account Mr Rennie's evidence, Stewards did not impose a fine on this occasion, however Leeroy Rox was stood down from racing for 28 days.
