Investigation follows public scuffle at race meetingGRANT MATTHEW/FAIRFAX NZ A Racing Integrity Unit investigation is underway following a scuffle in front of hundreds of witnesses at Manawatu Raceway. The Racing Integrity Unit (RIU) has opened an investigation into a public fight understood to involve greyhound licence holders. The unsavoury scuffle took place in a public area in front of a sizeable crowd at Manawatu Raceway, mid-way through the last race of the harness meeting. Godber said it was still early in the investigation and the RIU was working to identify all parties involved. The dual code meeting was part of the Gold Cup festival in Manawatu, with the Group I thoroughbreds meeting held at Awapuni the following day.
