$100,000 race and Nathan Williamson who trains and drivers here gets dumped on the track with serious head injuries because the sulky seat collapsed near the finish

He's going to be OK but still in hospital. His father is IMO the best trainer of trotters in NZ and the three brothers are all trainers and drivers

The race replay was not posted with the results

Belos is Stipes report (Judges)

CAPTAINS MISTRESS - raced greenly near the 1650m when attempting to lead. Driver N Williamson fell from the sulky passing the 50m due to the sulky seat coming adrift after the support struts broke. CAPTAINS MISTRESS was adjudged not to be a placegetter in accordance with Rule 873(3). Mr Williamson was attended to by St John personnel and transported to hospital via ambulance for further observation. The filly escaped for a short distance before being caught by Driver S Ottley and was not injured as a result of the incident.

  • Trigger: There's nothing wrong with Plop, never has been, it's us who make it.  It's evolved, comers, goers, but you find out who you are and who the other guy is and believe you me, it's the damn truth.  Always time to do good and inspire, be some positive force.
