Stewards spoke to Trainer Mr. Greg Neocleous regarding the greyhound’s racing manners approaching the winning post. Acting under the provisions of GAR 69A(1) Father Phevos was charged with failing to pursue the lure with due commitment. Mr. Neocleous pleaded guilty to the charge, Father Phevos was found guilty and suspended for 28 days at Sandown and must perform a Satisfactory Trial in accordance with GAR 69A(2)(a) and GAR 72, before any future nomination will be accepted.
A post-race sample was taken from Zambora Lion - winner of the event.
Supplementary Report: At the Stewards inquiry held on the night into the racing manners of Father Phevos approaching the finishing line, Trainer Mr Greg Neocleous pleaded guilty to the charge as issued under GAR 69A in that Father Phevos failed to pursue the lure with due commitment. The Stewards accepted the guilty plea and finalised the inquiry on these terms. However, post inquiry and the penalty being recorded and issued to Father Phevos, Mr Neocleous contacted the Stewards Dept. and wished to retrospectivley change his plea from guilty to not guilty (which was momentarily published in the above report) until the matter was identified, corrected and reverted to the original script. As a matter of record, the Stewards maintain that a guilty plea was entered by Mr Neocleous to the charge, at the inquiry.
