send the horses out a little bit earlier haydock

especially the ones requesting to be walked to start

Think that was the horse tailed off after about 20 Yrds.

Why on earth are they so late!

The captain refers to it as being caused by "an incident". Nothing of the sort. There was no incident. Just the usual bone idle lethargic incompetence of race courses and professionals.

Spot on Donegal.

Just blame the stall handlers.

what an absolute joke. 3 people pushing a pulling a horse to get to the start. What on earth do some of these trainers do for their fees?  No hope of this having left earlier of course
