The race was stopped by Stewards acting under to Rule 211(A)(1)&(2) after DREAMS OF ERIC shied and broke shortly after the start before falling to the track severely checking IRISH WHISPERS, NELSON'S BOY and FRANCO MIKI with driver D Butcher being tipped from the sulky. DREAMS OF ERIC was immediately attended to by the on course Veterinarian before being transported from the track via the Horse Ambulance. The colt underwent a further examination which revealed superficial abrasions to both knees and the near hind. DREAMS OF ERIC was subsequently stood down pending a satisfactory trial and a veterinary clearance before resuming. FRANCO MIKI also underwent a Veterinary examination which revealed a small laceration to the off fore. Driver A Poutama (DREAMS OF ERIC) was attended to by St John Ambulance staff before being transported to Waikato Hospital for further assessment. Driver D Butcher was examined by St John Ambulance staff and cleared of any significant injury. Stewards directed that the event be re-run following the late scratchings of FRANCO MIKI and DREAMS OF ERIC on veterinary advice given that the race had been stopped within the first 1000m with all remaining runners undergoing Veterinary examinations and being cleared to start.
