Don't you just hate it when this happens!

ACCOST again flies the flag for imported sire Urgent Request who was a brilliant front running miler on turf, stakes winner/placegetter in three continents including Group 1 SANTA ANITA HANDICAP (record time) and OAK TREE BREEDERS CUP HANDICAP on turf (world record time).

Did anyone else see Finiss Dor dip at about the 100m, before this he looked a winner, I remember he flew for second at the same meeting last year, he is a much improved horse since then.
