During kennelling, a power failure on-course caused the weighing scales to malfunction, and despite attempts to remediate the issue, the scales were unable to be used for the purposes of GAR 100, for the remainder of kennelling. Therefore, and acting in the best interests of racing, the Stewards ordered (for all greyhounds presented post the scales failing) that their last start weight was recorded as today's actual weight and that these weights will be used for the purposes of the weight rule at the greyhounds’ next start. GAR 100 Weighing - (1) A Controlling Body or authorised person may make orders in respect of the weight of a greyhound as it thinks fit in the interests of greyhound racing.
