A potentially disastrous accident was avoided at Newmarket race course when a large pane of glass fell from the main grandstand onto stand seats bellow.
Both the grandstand and stand were empty due to restrictions to combat the spread of coronavirus, as racing resumed in front of a course that was thankfully devoid of spectators.
Jockey Club spokesperson Amy Starkey said: "A window fell out of the Champions Gallery on the third floor on to the level two seating for no explained reason. We are now investigating why and how it's occurred.
"Clearly it is very concerning and thankfully we are staging racing behind closed doors so no members of the public or our team have access to the area."
On the track Eye Of Heaven provided trainer Mark Johnston with his third juvenile winner of the week to set up a tilt at the Norfolk Stakes with an impressive victory in the Betway EBF Stallions Novice Stakes at Newmarket.
Travelling close to the pace throughout the five-furlong contest the even-money favourite only needed to be pushed out with hands and heels by Frankie Dettori to score to by three-quarters of a length, earning a quote of 8-1 for Royal Ascot with Paddy Power.
