Mallyon was flung upwards before hitting the track hard when Isere leapt into the air when the barriers opened to start the APCO Service Stations F&M Maiden Plate (1100m). The footage of the incident is below.

The incident had the potential to be nasty but Mallyon was up on her feet quickly before passing a doctor's examination to take her next ride on the Andrew Noblet-trained Sistine Saint in the J.T Dixon Maiden Plate (1900m).

Mallyon guided Sistine Saint, a brother to the Group II winner Sistine Angel and a half-brother to the Group III winner Sistine Demon, to a 1 ¼ length win in his $22,000 assignment.

"I was really lucky," Mallyon told Racing Victoria.

"It was pretty graphic to watch when I came back into the rooms and it definitely felt graphic but we're all OK and the horse is OK."
