† Dead heat

2023 Perth Cup incident

The 2023 Perth Cup was abandoned mid-race after a two-horse fall involving Dom To Shoot and Chili Is Hot.[49] Chili Is Hot was euthanized on-site, while Dom To Shoot suffered leg abrasions but went on to make a full recovery. Both jockeys involved, Peter Knuckey and Jordan Turner, were uninjured. Jockey Joseph Azzopardi subsequently received a six-week ban, charged with riding carelessly on his mount Buster Bash, whose heels were clipped by Chili Is Hot, leading to the fall.[50] The race was re-run two weeks later on 14 January 2023, and ironically was won by Buster Bash.[51]

2008 race fall

The 2008 Perth Cup was marred by a six-horse fall which resulted in three jockeys being taken to hospital with minor injuries.[52] Following a stewards inquiry, apprentice jockey Chloe Chatfield was suspended for 10 weeks. The race was won by favourite Cats Fun.[53]
