What was the race that was featured on Most Outrageous Moments, with the birds flying everywhere!?

Question

I think the race was at Gulfstream Park and may have been a part of the Sunshine Millions series. Thousands of seagulls were sitting in the infield and on the track. When the horses came by, they all took flight and startled many of the horses. Does anyone know which race it was and what was the result of the race? Does anyone know where I can find a video of it, I have searched Youtube but no luck. Thanks

Answer 1

yes the race was at the sandow race club in melbourne australia, i forget the date but it was horrific, i also think the race was declared null and void, get in touch with the victorian racing club melbourne australia

Answer 2

Answer 3

It was March, 2005 but I haven't found any luck at finding the video either.  Sorry!  But at least now you have the track and date  :-)  Good Luck!

But there are a couple of pictures.

I guess I should clarify - Robert C has the correct track.  Add that to my date, and that is the correct race information.
