Evil Punk Disqualified

By GRNSW

Greyhound Racing NSW stewards have today finalised inquiries into the eligibility of Evil Punk which won Race 5 the ‘Rapidvite Stakes’ at Wentworth Park on 17 May 2014.

Stewards interviewed Evil Punk's trainer James Coyle and have confirmed Evil Punk was ineligible to compete in the event after it was presented at the weight of 30.1kg (1.3kg lighter than when it last raced) and was incorrectly afforded a 2kg allowance in accordance with the provisions of Gar 39 (2).

The greyhound Evil Punk has therefore been disqualified in accordance with Gar 64(1) from its winning position in the event and the placings have been amended accordingly.
