Yep. Think that's going to become a more regular thing in future.
When you think of it, with the other way of doing it, you have to be lucky twice. I mean, the horse drawn out first can end up with a barrier that the connections hate. With this way, you only have to be lucky once. They just draw out the number of the horse and then the rest is up to the owner / trainer.
By the way, who got drawn out first? Do you know?
