Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) today commenced a hearing as part of an inquiry into an incident that occurred in race 5 at Wentworth Park on Saturday, 26 December 2015.

The greyhound which incorrectly competed in the race was Asa Killa Queen, trained by Anthony Azzopardi.
During today’s hearing, evidence was given by Mr Azzopardi, his employees Norman Sheppard and Robert Stojanov, Wentworth Park employees Andrew Rowe and Steve Athanassas as well as GRNSW Steward Greg Hore
GRNSW Stewards adjourned the inquiry to consider the evidence tendered during today’s hearing and determine whether any charges will be laid under the GRNSW Greyhound Racing Rules.
