I didnt see mr c,s race,but years ago I had a substantial bet on a nag called Arena in the CC which missed the start by about 10 lengths,yet WAS NOT declared a non runner???It was also ridden by a certain hoop being critisized in another thread.There are certainly some dubious decisions made in all states by the powers that be.Can anyone tell me how Taufans Melody kept his CC win after knocking half the field out of the race??
