Dog (Birthday Toy) fell onto the live rail and was electrocuted during the 12th matinee race at Sanford-Orlando. The lure operator did not immediately stop the lure, stating that he did not notice that the dog had fallen and died. When he did realize that the dog was down, he cut the power to the lure and then sped it up when the other dogs caught up to it. The lure then coasted in neutral until it struck the electrocuted greyhound.

Dog (Jawa Spock) fell at the first turn during the race and fractured both his rear hocks. Due to the extent of the injuries, the kennel owner was contacted and authorized euthanasia of the dog. The track vet stated that it is very unusual for a greyhound to fracture both rear hocks, but also stated that this injury does not reflect negligence on the part of the trainer. Case closed without further action.
