The fall happened approaching the 100m in the TAB Maiden Plate when the leader, the $1.50 favourite Fast Fun, faultered and fell with Nikita Beriman in the saddle.
Three horses following were unable to avoid the fallen horse.
Two more coming to grief while the third horse parted company with the rider.
Fast Fun had to be euthanised while Zouchase, Haz Styles and Shaque D'amour appeared to have avoided serious injury and were taken back to the tie up stalls for further veterinary assessment.
Beriman and Mark Du Plessis were both taken to hospital for further assessment while Tiffani Brooker and Emily Lang were stood down from their remaining rides.
From a betting perspective, placings stood as is, with Divine Source ($7) declared the winner with just three other finishers.

NRLW Parramatta Eels defeat Cronulla Sharks 18-16
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRLW. Followed categories will be added to My News. Parramatta just missed finals in 2024 but they've burst out of the blocks in 2025 with an 18-16 upset victory over last year's grand finalists Cronulla in the NRLW season opener on Thursday night. The Eels are the youngest side in the competition and had five players making their NRLW debut against Cronulla, but they were clinical from the outset. Parramatta completed at 93 per cent in the first half as a kicking masterclass from halfback Rachael Pearson had the hosts on the back foot. Cronulla had several chances to win it late at Shark Park but the visitors' goal line defence stood tall all night and proved the difference. 'We're stoked. We had heaps of trust in our debutants, so we went into the game confident and they pulled through,' Parramatta centre Rory Owen said. 'The coaches will be ecstatic, we had a big focus on defence and I think we really showed we've been focused at training.' SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – JULY 03: Rachael Pearson of the Eels celebrates with teammates after scoring a try during the round one NRLW match between the Cronulla Sharks and Parramatta Eels at Sharks Stadium on July 03, 2025, in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by) It was a thrilling contest between two genuine premiership contenders this season but it was a night to forget for the officials. They missed three blatant forward passes before one was finally picked up in the dying minutes that ended the Sharks' chances of snatching a late victory. PERFECT PEARSON Eels halfback Rachael Pearson booted the Sharks off the park in a dominant first half. Pearson set up the opening try with a grubber into the posts that caught Sharks duo Georgia Hannaway and Emma Verran napping as Chloe Jackson pounced to score first points of the NRLW season. Pearson also set up the second try with another grubber but this time for herself as she caught out Verran again and regathered to score a simple try. The Parramatta No. 7 should have had a third try assist off her boot but Martha Mataele couldn't reel in a chip to the corner. On the stroke of halftime, Pearson threw a dummy and sliced through before putting through a kick that should have seen prop Elsie Albert score but she couldn't finish. Pearson's general play kicking was also on point as she kept Cronulla's back three on the back foot all night. BATTLE OF THE FULLBACKS All eyes were on the match up between fullbacks Emma Verran and Abbi Church heading into this clash and it was the latter who got the better of her NSW teammate. Emma Verran. Picture:Abbi Church. Picture:Eels No.1 Church looked dangerous every time she touched the ball and ran for 123 metres from 14 carries and also set up a try. Verran endured a horror first half, letting in two tries and making two errors. But the former Dally M Medal winner showed her class in the second stanza with some dangerous runs and epic defence. Verran helped set up the Sharks' go-ahead try in the 49th minute and then made a try-saver on Zali Fay with just seven minutes left to keep her side in the game. She finished with 140 run metres from 14 carries. 'We were in it but unfortunately couldn't hold on,' Verran said. 'When we had the ball in the first half we looked dangerous and the message at halftime was go back through the middle and we did that and I thought we had them there but it just slipped through our fingers.'

Pat Cummins has backed Australia's inexperienced top order to prove itself — starting with the second Test against the West Indies in Grenada. Opener Sam Konstas and new No. 3 Cameron Green contributed a combined 26 runs across both innings in the first Test, while veteran Usman Khawaja managed 47 and 15. With Steve Smith to bolster the top four in place of Josh Inglis, Cummins was confident the top-order would click.

Orlando Bloom's heartbreaking post amid split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom has alluded to having feelings of 'loneliness' amid his split from Katy Perry. The Hollywood star, 48, shared quotes on his Instagram Stories on Thursday where he appeared to share insight into his state of mind following his shock split from the international pop star. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,' read one of the quotes he shared with his followers. While in another post he made reference to feeling a level of 'darkness' in his life currently. 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness,' read the second quote. It comes just days after Bloom appeared to suggest that he was behind his split from Perry, sharing a quote on his social media that said: 'The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.' It was revealed last week how the A-list couple had parted ways after nine years together. Perry, 40, is currently on her world tour and has put on a brave face despite her ongoing separation from Orlando. An emotional Perry was seen fighting back tears onstage as she thanked fans following her split. Making a heart with her fingers, Katy's voice started to crack as she addressed the crowd. 'Thank you Australia for always being there for me,' she said, clearly fighting back tears. Last week, The Sun reported how the star couple held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Just days after news of their break-up broke, Bloom 'made his debut as a single man' at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding.
