The race started at 5.27pm after around 15 Animal Rising demonstrators were reported to have been on the track, clinging to some of the 30 fences.
"The majority were prevented from breaching the boundary fencing, but the nine individuals who managed to enter the course were later arrested by officers." Horses were initially taken away from the parade ring while racegoers were informed of the delay, before returning to the track to cheers from the crowds.
"That's why I've decided to put my body between those horses and death on the racecourse, rather than gamble with their lives."
