 Course officials tried to stop the runners by waving red flags, but many jockeys continued to race, believing that they were protesters (a group of whom had invaded the course earlier), while Peter Scudamore only stopped because he saw his trainer, Martin Pipe, waving frantically at him.Seven horses completed the course, meaning the result was void.The first past the post was Esha Ness (in the second-fastest time ever), ridden by John White and trained by Jenny Pitman.
