What merits reporting in the Stewards Report?

[Yankiwi]

I just don't get it.

Today's report for Addington says this about the 6th race.

 

 

Yet a bit after "into turn", this occurs and goes unmentioned?

I won't even get into the rule breach that initiated this "dance", but the dance was the reason the #6 was able to hold on and win the race.

 

 

So going forward, everyone will have the information as to why the #4 finished last, yet it's not deemed important as to why the #3, #5, or #7 didn't get past the #6 and win the race.

C'mon Stewards, don't be lazy & do better.

Seems the Addington Vet and/or Stewards are rewriting a dog's anatomy.

Don't Greyhounds have dew claws?

[Yankiwi]

Not on their back (hind) legs/feet.

Also if the front (fore) leg/foot was meant, there is no webbing between the dew claw & the rest of the digits.

Some dogs have hind limb dew claws, so these are counted when counting digits in all dogs.  Vet is correct in their anatomy

That's what I thought but didn't want to challenge (too much) Chazza's impeccable knowledge on finding nits.
