Luckless Debut For First Impact At Bendigo
The Race A Chaser Impact Syndicate also had the other bitch in the syndicate, First Impact (India); debut at Bendigo yesterday in the heats of the Bendigo Goldrush maiden.
Sadly for First Impact and the syndicate, it was not the debut we’d hoped for.
Having missed the start, from her box 1 draw, she had to work hard to try to get near the lead in the run to the corner, and was working up inside about 5 greyhounds.
But the corner was always going to cause her some problems with so many greyhounds around her, and after copping the slightest of checks of the heels of the leader, she became unbalanced and immediately checked by the running rail or the 3 dog.
That check proved to be fatal for her chances, dragging her right off the track and out of the race.
A vet inspection after the race showed a very slight chest muscle strain from the interference.
The full replay First Impact’s debut run is shown below.
