SR3,
the favourite is the only runner to miss the start then regathers and finishes on "like a steam train" to run third. Those that backed it to win would have had steam coming out of their ears!
Again, I ask...how is it that it is the favourite or well-fancied runner(s) which seem disproportionately represented in those horses that miss the start and effectively play no part in the finish?
Hmmm....you'll have to figure that one out for yourself.
The only redeeming fact is that it was the favourite's first racestart but that is superfluous to the point that I am making.

Cheers.
