due to a gate malfunction. The gates did not open when the starter pushed the button, and then several gates randomly opened. Stewards will make a decision whether to re- run the race later in the meet or to distribute the purse between the seven horses who did not scratch prior to the mishap and no-race designation by the stewards.
