The greyhound LAURYN’S BEST was vetted and no apparent injuries were found.  Stewards interviewed trainer’s representative Mr. T Elson in relation to the greyhound’s performance.  Mr. Elson advised stewards that due to the tightening and LAURYN’S BEST normally races on speed today failed to find her best performance and would inform stewards in the near future if anything does come to light, regardless of the tightening he was happy with the performance.
