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.
