After looking carefully at the barriers in race 7 and 8 on the same day, the gates begin to open less than 0.1 sec after the levers on the gates spring up. This is normal at Bunbury. In race 9 however, the levers sprang up yet there was a full 0.5 seconds before the majority of the gates opened. They came out like Brown's cows and stewards decided to scratch the horse that got a fly start.
The barriers clearly malfunctioned. What a joke.
p.s I have deduced that the gate of Ginger Mack did not open prematurely. It was a case of it being the only gate that opened at the correct time. All the other gates failed to open at the appropriate time.

after reading the stewards report then it is obvious CASTILLO DEL LAGO caused the problem.
