Handlers are required to exit the area after boxing and maintain their 1.5m distance from other handlers and staff, at all times.

Stewards spoke to representive Andrew Xerri, regarding the greyhounds racing manners on the first turm. Acting under the provisions of GAR 69(B)(1), Double Zero was charged with failing to pursue the lure with due commitment (by reason of injury). Mr Xerri pleaded guilty to the charge, Double Zero must perform a Satisfactory Trial (all tracks) pursuant to GAR 69(B)(1)(a) before any future nomination will be accepted.
