The greyhound COSMIC REVENGE was vetted and found to have suffered an injury to the near hind leg and was stood down for a period of 7 days.  When questioned on the performance of this greyhound trainer Mr. K Mackenroth reported to stewards that the greyhound had trailed well previously at Albion Park and the greyhound had showed good early sectional speed, recording times in a range of 7.1 to 7.15.  He further explained that the greyhound was fractious in the starting boxes on this occasion and he believed that this may have contributed to the greyhound’s erratic start.  He advised that his intentions were to improve the greyhound’s box manners before its next race start.  Stewards noted Mr. Mackenroth’s comments.

 

Race 3 – Maiden Heat 2 331m

COSMIC LAPTOP was slow to begin.  Through the back straight OMAGH LAD and WE JUST DISAGREE were tight and unbalanced and lost ground.  Approaching the top turn OMAGH LAD, COSMIC LAPTOP and WE JUST DISAGREE were tight and unbalanced.  GRIMM’S BOY, BOGAN BABE and OMAGH LAD were wide in the top turn.  Entering the home straight COSMIC LAPTOP checked off the heels of GRIMM’S BOY and collided with BOGAN BABE.

 

When questioned on COSMIC LAPTOP’s poor start from the boxes trainer Mr. K Mackenroth advised that the greyhound was fractious after being boxed, kicking the boxes a number of times and he believed this contributed to the greyhound’s slow start.  Mr. Mackenroth advised that the greyhound had trialed well on a number of occasions at Albion Park but his intentions were to improve the greyhound’s box manners before its next nomination.

 

Race 4 – Maiden Final 331m

When questioned on the below market expectation performance trainer’s representative Mr. D Matts advised that the greyhound had trialed well at Albion Park the week previous and they were confident in its chances this evening.  Mr. Matts added that connections did support the greyhound in this race and were disappointed with the performance. He explained that the trial the previous week may have subsequently flattened the greyhound judging from tonight’s performance. He further advised that going forward the greyhound will be relocated to Western Australia with another trainer in order to compete in further short course races that are available in that state. Stewards noted Mr. Matts’ comments.

 

Race 7 – 5th Grade 395m

Race 8 – 3/4th Grade 395m

CLASSY FLYER was best to begin.  Shortly after the start CARDIAC KING and CLASSY TOM came together.  Shortly after, CLASSY TOM and NOTORIOUS LADY came together and CLASSY TOM was forced to shift out onto the running of LINE UP BUOYS and both these greyhounds lost ground as a result.
