8. Zipping Slash – Near the finish turned its head inwards momentary easing. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. Stewards spoke to trainer W Warner regarding the greyhound’s actions at that stage of the event, after reviewing the video replay and the hearing the submissions from Mr Warner, stewards deemed Zipping Slash had taken its attention away from the lure therefore invoked GAR 124 Failing to Pursue. As this was the greyhound’s 1st offence under this rule Zipping Slash was suspended from racing at Albion Park for 28 days and until the successful completion of a satisfactory steward’s trial. |
