The life of another unnamed mare also could not be saved, while a fifth horse, the Bjorn Baker-trained Hybrid Theory – a daughter of Brazen Beau who ran at Caulfield on Saturday – was taken to a veterinary clinic in Euroa and escaped relatively unscathed.

Aladaala was by champion sire Redoute's Choice and a half-sister to Listed winner and Australian Derby third Kingdoms; Hafaawa was a Redoute's Choice half-sister to multiple South African Group 1 winner Soqrat; and Maktabba was by Per Incanto out of a Redoute's Choice daughter of Listed scorer Warm Smytzer.
