AVIETTE (C Alford) refused to raise a fluent gallop soon after the start, the filly being placed approximately eight lengths behind the field and thereafter made progress to run with the field approximately from 1200 metres.  In view of its behaviour Tr. Vijay Singh was informed not to accept with his charge until passed in a barrier trial during the hours of morning track work. 

As the field approached the 400 metres marker, a section of the stable staff along with outsiders invaded the race track causing disruption to the running of the horses for the remaining part of the race.  An enquiry was held soon after the incident and the Stewards in exercise of their powers under the RCTC Rules of Racing declared the race null and void and ordered ‘All’ bets placed on the Totalisator and Bookmakers  be refunded.
