Warrnambool - Seven people have been taken to a hospital after a horse jumped over a high fence into a crowd of about 50 spectators during the Grand Annual Steeplechase at Warrnambool race track.

Banna Strand, without a rider, veered off course on Thursday and jumped a 2m brush fence into the crowd.

The most serious injury was to a 2-year-old girl, who suffered a fractured collarbone. Most of the other injured were treated and released at the hospital.

Racing Victoria says it will investigate the incident.

Michael says... @BA that doesn't stop them from going there as special envoys, peace brokers etc which is their real role in the world, not taking sides and sitting pontificating in New york where it doesn't do any good. Neither is it the role of UN officials to sponsor SC resolutions, that's done by individual countries if you don't know how the UN is supposed to work. Read the article...
