Meeting Comments -

Stewards today conducted an inquiry into the circumstances pertaining to the late scratching of Mill House at 8:32a.m. from race 8 at Ballarat on the 19th of March 2014. After taking evidence from the greyhound's trainer Mr. Andrew Mooney, who stated in his opinion the greyhound was fit to race on Tuesday evening but went amiss on Wednesday morning after a short gallop which is Mr. Mooney's normal practise for his greyhounds on race day. Mr. Mooney further stated that he notified the board as soon as he was aware the greyhound was unfit to race. Stewards accepted his explanation.
