HALIFAX was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds as the colt was suffering with colic.
A Stewards enquiry was called immediately after the running of this race into the start of this race. The Stewards having noted the explanation tendered by the Starters in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards, viewing the replay of the race on CCTV and acting on their own observation of the race, resolved that due to technical failure, the Starting gates did not open on time and a fair start has not been effected, as such declared it as a false start and ordered the race to be declared as NULL and VOID under Rule 31 (a) of the HRC Rules of Racing.
