Scrub O’Malley was very slow out. Fisherman, Hotline Patch and Regent Diamond collided soon after the start. Blofeld checked off
the heels of Sting approaching the first turn. Fisherman, Hotline Patch and Hilton Sage collided on the first turn. Fisherman and Hilton
Sage collided approaching the second turn checking both greyhounds. Fisherman, Hotline Patch, Hilton Sage and Scrub O’Malley
collided on the home turn checking Hotline Patch and Hilton Sage.
Scrub O’Malley collapsed approaching the catching pen and died.
The Club’s Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Stephen King reported that the he was of the opinion that Scrub O’Malley had suffered from a
pulmonary rupture, Dr King performed an autopsy on course and collected various samples from the greyhound for further analysis.
Stewards interviewed Mr M Stringer to establish if there had been any unusual incidents or circumstances that may assist the stewards
with their investigation in this matter.
