Very strange race...looks like Donworth and Effinex should stay home after their races. Donworth did pull up hard, but he was empty thereafter. Can't believe the stewards are even looking at the incident....Donworth's rider caused all the trouble running up on the winners heels. Here's the finish:
Melatonin
Hard Aces
Effinex
Imperative
