Notice
Declaration of a 'NO RACE'
The stewards may declare a 'No Race' only in the following circumstances:
(1) Where there is mechanical or other defect of the hare equipment or starting box or any outside interference with the race, or
(2) If any of the dogs fight, and as a consequence, all fail to pursue the hare, or (3) If for any other reason all dogs fail to pursue the hare.
Note: A greyhound turning back in a race does not constitute outside interference.
Unauthorised photography in this stadium is strictly prohibited.
If through any cause the race has to be abandoned before the start of the Fourth Race, pass out tickets will be issued, but, under no circumstances, will admission money be refunded.
Greyhounds Turning in Traps:
(a) If a greyhound turns before the hare is put in motion that greyhound will be taken out and and righted. If, however, he turns again no further attention will be given to him.
(b) If a greyhound turns while the hare is in motion the hare should not be stopped and the traps should be released.
(c) If the hare passes the traps and for any reason the traps do not operate then all the dogs should be taken out and be re-examined before they are put into traps again.
