They were track staff doing track maintenance when they looked up and seen horses , had to dive under rail . Had an enquiry , first 4 home confirmed but the 5th horse called a late scr .

It's becoming amatuer hour when even the staff don't know the races have started .

Race 5 STAPHANOS BY DEEP IMPACT CHAMPAGNE STAKES (1600 metres) (Listed Race)

DAARIO (C Grylls) – Slow to begin. Briefly hampered approaching the 600 metres when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track.

ATULLIBIGEAL (A Calder) – Briefly hampered approaching the 600 metres when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track.

NEST EGG (D Johnson) – Hampered and shifted wider when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track near the 600 metres.

SONGGONG SUCCESS (L Satherley) – Briefly hampered approaching the 600 metres when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track.

INVIALO (S Spratt) – Briefly hampered approaching the 600 metres when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track.

SAMARKAND (L Allpress) – Hampered and shifted wider when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track near the 600 metres.

LADY MAROAL (M McNab) – Briefly hampered approaching the 600 metres when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track.

TE POROPITI (S Collett) – Inconvenienced soon after leaving the barrier. Hampered and shifted wider when taking evasive action to avoid ARC staff on the track near the 600 metres. Declared a non-runner. Following the race the Stewards lodged a request for a ruling with the Judicial Committee to determine whether the race should be voided or selected runners should be declared non-runners due to runners having to avoid ARC track staff approaching the 600 metres. After considering submissions, the Judicial Committee declared TE POROPITI to be a non runner.

Haha you cant help but laugh, the so called RIP centre of NZ racing - ffs we are a massive joke of an industry run by posers.

At least they would have had a good rave after the races , that's all NZTR seem to care about , it certainly isn't racing.

You could not make this shit up!

Several years ago a horse ( Blizzard?) fell into a hole in the back straight....

Last year a guy playing golf wandered onto the track looking for his ball...in the face of a field of horses coming at him..

It seems the committee at ellerslie are going to shoot themselves in the foot by selling off a world famous part of their track ( the Hill)

Today a couple of drongoes who work for ellerslie forgot its a raceday and have a siesta on the track in front of a field of 2 year olds..

I think a travelling circus should set up a permanant act at ellerslie..sure aint any shortage of clowns!

So after looking at their report why was only 1 horse declared a non runner , there was 3 other runners that were impeded that didn't fill the 4st four positions , so why were they not declared non runners as well .

Bit of a farce really , young horses can easily put off and stop trying , they should all have been declared non runners as well .

Where do we start with this four others runners should been decleared non runners. Are going get anything extra? for in reality, non race for them... uhm...no... Where our great CEO Cameron George thought suppose be saving as from these issues ?.  oh! use be one of the problems...

Thought the same, they stated horses were affected, I am sure some riders thought the race would be called off
