During the running of the Grand Annual Steeplechase at the May Warrnambool Jumps Carnival, there was carnage on the racetrack as numerous horses fell and one horse jumped over a 2 metre fence into a crowd of spectators injuring young children and the elderly.

The Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses believes this is further proof as to why a ban on jumps racing is necessary as the sport will never be made safe.
