Trailing Amazing Star in his wake was favoured Lucky Patch (NZ) (El Roca {Aus}), who fell over the stricken Amazing Star. Pixie Knight (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}) dislodged Yuichi Fukunaga, but picked himself up and galloped through the lane. Naboo Attack (Aus) (Warhead {Aus}) suffered serious injuries and was sadly euthansed, as was Amazing Star. Purton, Fukunaga and Hewitson were all taken to hospital.

One of the worst accidents I've ever seen, especially watching live. Latest update is that all the riders are conscious and stable.

“Zac has some upper-body injuries, but the extent of those does not seem to be extreme. Lyle potentially has a fracture of his hip and they’re monitoring him to see whether there are any other injuries that he has sustained.

“As far as Fukunaga is concerned, he continues to be monitored for a potential fracture [of the clavicle], and that also has to be managed very carefully in the context of the racing bubble.
