THE RAT GREYHOUNDS LAST NIGHT

[Mr_Willy]

Does anyone know why race 9 at Ballarat was abandoned last night?! Had a bet on roo burger's premier reward so just wondering!!

[Groover]

There was a problem with the time of when the boxes opened. either too early or too late.

[Mr_Willy]

Is this common? I haven't seen it before....

[mighty_tiger_79]

yeah it happens a fair bit

the boxes will either open up too early or way too late

Seems it happened in NZ today too

here you have it.
At Ballarat
Stewards declared the event a "NO RACE" due to the lids opening prematurely.
Sweet Sachet was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound sustained bruising and abrasions to the left forehead and eyelid, a 3 day stand down period was imposed.
At NZ today the front lid was almost forced open and the 1 and the 6 got half way out then squeezed back in.
then the bunny went passed and he slowed it down to let them catch up.
the 1 missed it by 5l
had to be abandoned.
