Stewards with-held the All Clear in order to review the positioning of the lure over the concluding stages of the race; in the vicinity of the 75m-50m mark to approaching the finishing line, with reference to the provisions of GAR 109 (1). After reviewing all available video footage and acting on their own observations, the Stewards were not comfortably satisfied that the outcome of the event was unaffected by the positioning of the lure. Therefore, pursuant to GAR 109 (3), the event was declared to be a ‘No Race’. All betting is to be refunded. The weights recorded for the greyhounds are void and does not count for the purposes of the weight rule at the greyhound’s next start. The event was then abandoned in accordance with GAR 111, with prizemoney to be split evenly between the eligible greyhounds which competed in the No-Race.

The Lure Driver was reminded of his responsibility to ensure the lure is maintained between 5-8m in front of the leading greyhound pursuant to GAR 109 (1). This matter was referred to the relevent manager for further consideration and remediation.
