In regard to actions taken at Oxford Stadium following the second Semi Final of the bet365 Hunt Cup, a spokesperson from GBGB has said:

“We are aware of the incident at Oxford Stadium yesterday evening and have been in close discussions with the track’s management team regarding the integrity of the traps in question. Greyhound welfare must always remain the highest priority and the traps have therefore been withdrawn with immediate effect. We will continue to work closely with the stadium as they take measures to ensure that, now and going forward, everyone involved can have full confidence in the systems in place.”
