From the Stewards :

DARK TARGET (P. Harvey) – After leaving the mounting enclosure following the race, the gelding collapsed on the track and expired. When questioned regarding the poor performance, rider explained that the gelding had been slow into stride, however mustered early pace and was able to lead unchallenged.
He further advised that the gelding was under pressure prior to straightening and tired from thereon. He also stated that the gelding felt normal in its action and behaviour prior to, during and when unsaddling the gelding.
Trainer Mrs C. Stelmach advised that the gelding had been working well in the lead-up to today’s race and was normal prior to the race. The Veterinary Surgeon advised that the gelding was found to have a cardiac arrhythmia on returning to the mounting enclosure and a preliminary veterinary examination disclosed that the gelding collapsed and expired due to a primary cardiac event.
The gelding was subsequently transported to Murdoch University where it will undergo an autopsy to determine the exact cause of this occurrence.
