Douvan was still cruising along when Vanituex fell though.Would have won cosily even if the Henderson horse didn't fall.
Ruby wasn't animated on him but I wouldn't call it cruising. I;m watching the replay and he starts asking questions when Vaniteux gets upsides and until the final turn he couldn't get rid of him and then gained 1-2 lengths due to Vaniteux going much wider and he still didn't get rid of him until the fall.
'Cosily' you say but he was left 4-5 lengths in front 2 out, Ruby started to ask serious questions "hard ridden to the line" - commentator, but in 2 furlongs he only made a further 2-3 lengths on an average horse in Sizing.
I don't think he would've lost to Vaniteux but it promised to be a fight for the line.
