SPIRITUAL BLISS - fell to the track on pulling up after tipping Driver H Orange from the sulky but was immediately attended to by the crash crew and veterinarian. This mare then got away from the attendants after having the sulky and harness removed due to the bridle coming off when being restrained. SPIRITUAL BLISS was subsequently caught by attendants at the birdcage gates and found not to have sustained any injury in this incident after a veterinary examination. Driver H Orange was examined by St John personnel and cleared of injury.
