Overview

• The 5f apprentice handicap at Windsor was declared void after an early stall release prompted a false start signal that went unnoticed by most riders.
• Five riders—Tommie Jakes, Jack Doughty, Jack Dace, Taryn Langley and Alec Volkhansky—received ten-day suspensions for failing to respond to the recall flag before the whistle sounded.
• Track replays showed the starter waving a flag followed by the recallman blowing a whistle to indicate the false start.
• The blindfolded horse Master Zack reared in the stalls, crashed through three sections of running rails then was caught uninjured.
• Michael Attwater’s Cabeza De Llave finished first past the post under Tommie Jakes only to have its victory overturned when the race was voided.
