Stipendiary Stewards Report
Wanganui Greyhound Racing Club
Hatrick Raceway ON FRIDAY 26 Nov 2010
Weather: FineTrack: Good On arrival at the track, the Stewards found that the weighing scales were not working and a Technician was called and confirmed that they were not able to repair them at that time. As a result the Greyhounds could not be weighed and the Club will have the scales repaired, or a new set will be purchased prior to the next meeting.
Scales: The scales were not able to be used.
Health and Safety comment: Nil
Judicial report: The inquiry into the late scratching of MICKEY THE RAT at Palmerston North on 22.11.10 was reconvened and concluded at this meeting. After due consideration in relation to the matter, it was concluded that while it was upsetting for the connections of MICKEY THE RAT, there were mitigating circumstances and no further action was considered necessary other than to put in place systems to prevent this occurring again. The scratching was as a result of FAST PAUSE being stood down at Wanganui on 17.11.10 for 5 days but the Trainers miscalculating that the stand down expired on 22.11.10 when in fact the date was 21.11.10. The papers were picked up from the Wanganui office prior to the Stewards marking them for the stand down. FAST PAUSE was in any event, unable to race on 22.11.10 as the injury was still present and the dog was presented on 22.11.10 and given a further 5 day stand down. In the meantime MICKEY THE RAT had been advertised through the T.A.B as starting from FAST PAUSE'S box which was incorrect and which the Stewards could not allow.
