Also under LR41A

(4) For the avoidance of doubt, any greyhound that falls during a race or trial whether injured or not shall have a stand-down period of at least five days commencing on the day on which the greyhound falls in any race or trial conducted by a Club.

(5) For the purposes of this rule, a greyhound falls during a race when all four legs lose contact with the racing surface and the greyhound’s shoulder, side or flank makes contact with the racing surface.

The steward decided that two dogs needed to be vet checked after falling in the Cambridge incident.

Sort it out RIB. Enforce the rules consistently in the way they are written.

Why was the Mandatory 5 day standdown imposed on Goldstar Tookie, yet not imposed on 2 runners in Cambridge on the same day or 5 runners in Wanganui the next day?

Has Ascot located in Invercargill lost their license to race as it bot mention by Mr Steele as one of tracks in the country 

They still race at Ascot. They raced there today.

Mr Steele also left out Manukau.

Maybe he has normalized the list of NZ tracks, throwing out both the best & worst performing tracks in the country.

How?

You have just qualified to become a Steward for the greyhound code.

You were unable to detect the #1 dog mar the #7 dog during three consecutive strides.

#2 image.png.d58b02ea222145b1015a3d8d9b8ea9ed.png

Look at both dog's heads in the frame after the head/muzzle contact.

#3 image.png.a536202d63c2284c53b1f912df9e3dd9.png

And again, look at the two dog's heads in the very next frame.

In the aftermath, now that the #1 has slowed down & put the #7 off balance

next frame

What's even worse, neither of those two dogs were sent for a vet check after the race. After all of that contact it should be more than enough to trigger a vet check.

The official results of the race wouldn't change, but the #1's actions clearly broke the rules & should have been charged for marring.

Rubbish.

I see you are downloading the races on your PC or laptop or recording from your smart phone - hence the pixalation.  Try looking at the YouTube video - its higher definition and you can still manipulate frame by frame.  I fixed your post for you.

I agree.

The Steward has no idea how to read a race, therefore unable to enforce the rules as they are written.

Also, the Steward was derelict in their duty by not requiring a vet check after the race for at least the #7 dog, after the aftermath of the marring, turned the dog sideways on the track.
