Just been on the T.V. It occurs to me that any British entry drawn higher than 5 would have been a NR. If run under our Rules every Charioteer would have fell foul of the Whipping restrictions and the Roman Favourite would have been facing a very lengthy ban for hitting an opponent, luckily he was killed so no further action would have been needed. Only 4 finishers in a flat race would have the animal rights brigade in a tizzy. The race was won by the 4/1 second favourite running for Judea but owned by rich Arabs! Some things never change. lol
Winner had plum draw in 3, 1 was very tight against the rail/wall. It was noticeable that there was no problems with kick back on the Jerusalem all weather. Dr Crippen is a bit unkind to say there were non triers, some just couldn't go the frenetic early pace.
