Lennon Only Fined for a Positive Swab

Dwyer Lennon can actually consider himself fortunate as for being guilty to a charge under Greyhound Racing Rule 83 (2) (a) for allowing Dashing Corsair to run in a certain race though not free of a prohibited substance called Ketoprofen he was only ordered to fine. His reigning National Sprint Champion Dashing Corsair turned positive to Ketoprofen, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory, however was only obliged to fine as penalty, not much of a trouble.

To be specific, the trainer was only ordered to fine $1500. Well, he can consider himself fortunate. It was a serious offence he committed but he was not suspended or up to something else equally serious.

The GRNSW Stewards indeed performed a serious inquiry into reports about Dashing Corsair positive swab result. However, the inquiry didn’t happen early then and so the National Sprint Champion aside from racing and being second in the second heat of the Gold Cup even raced and also be second to Lochinvar Vogue in the final event.

We believe Lennon can really consider himself fortunate as despite of being guilty to a charge under Greyhound Racing Rule 83 (2) (a) for allowing Dashing Corsair to run despite not being free of Ketoprofen only faced a fine of  $1500. And of course, his Dashing Corsair was only required to be disqualified from Race 6 Hesa Felon @ Stud Gold Cup Ht 2 and then from 2010 Group 2 Wentworth Park Gold Cup.

Now, the Race 6 Hesa Felon @ Stud Gold Cup Ht 2 placings:

1st – Forty Twenty

2nd – Lochinvar Vogue

3rd – Chilli Pug

And, the 2010 Group 2 Wentworth Park Gold Cup placings:

1st – Lochinvar Vogue

2nd – Chilli Jim

3rd – Blue Lorian

In determining the penalty, certain things were put into consideration just like the trainer’s unblemished record in relation to the Rule or previous penalties in relation to the Rule, the nature of the substance which the greyhound turned positive to, and the effects that findings have on the Greyhound Racing image.
