I can still remember a prolific sprinter called Grey Desire (a shortie) ran loose before a 6f prestige race (could be the Haydock Sprint) some years ago. He still ran but finished 2nd. I was one of the mugs who backed him before his extra-exertion before the race.

Roggrain , yes yes yes ! Outriders are the sensible and rather obvious answer . Quite why they don't have them when they are seen to good effect in other jurisdictions.
We use them at the pt 2 pt and they are worth their weight in gold for catching the loose ones , especially as they are herd animals and if you have a loose one it will tend not to run away from another horse if one comes up with a rider on it making it easy to catch. Far easier than a person trying to catch it on foot and the horse jinking around them and galloping offon a jolly for 20mins.
Only ever going to be 1 winner when a horse gallops off at 30mph.
