Kawini, Zirccra, Tuki, Grown Coin, Kapuna, Greenstone, and Scamp were schooled together over a round of the steeplechase fences on the course proper. Kawini and Kapuna were in front going easily. Zircon ran to the front at the top turn, but ran off at the fence near the entrance to t* 1 straight, carrying Kawini off, while Crown Coin and Greenstone fell. Zircon finally ran off at Cutts's fence, and charged into a fence. His rider (Warner) had a heavy fall, and was taken to the hospital. Kawini and Tuki jumped well, as did Kapuna, a novice. Zircon's waywardness rather spoilt a good bit of work.
