GENERAL

 

Race 1 – Maiden 410m

FARMOR KNOCKA’S and IN THE DOCK both began well.  JESSICA’S MONEY, HEATHAN BRETT, SUPERSEDED, PA TING and LUSIMA all lost significant ground due to general tightening in the run through the catching pen.  Approaching the top turn PA TING shifted in checking the running of SUPERSEDED.  At the home turn FAWN DRAGON shifted in severely checking the running of IN THE DOCK. LUSIMA was wide at the home turn and down the running.

 

Race 2 – Novice 410m

EBONY SPECIAL was best to begin.  SLAYTON’S POWER was slowly into stride.  EBONY SPECIAL and PUNGUSHE came together through the catching pen.  PUNGUSHE became unbalanced and raced wide for the remainder of the event.  Through the top turn SLAYTON’S POWER shifted in onto the running of BEHM which lost ground.  BEHM and RHONDA’S DYNO were both wide at the home turn.

 

The greyhound PUNGUSHE was vetted post race and was found to have sustained a near side foreleg injury in running.
