Shiz happens

wtf is that set up ,11 runners so 4 stalls on rail the rest  stalls off track and 7 horses in other stalls, so 7 horses are disadvantaged by the gap of 2 stalls,when it could have just 4

Farce

you could have had 10 horses in one block and just one horse disadvantaged by been in the others block and in theory drawn 3 away from the nearest horse

It has happened before and more than likely will happen again

Flip start

You simply couldn't make this up if you tried.

when ever you get 2 sets of stalls ,horses in one block disadvantaged by been in theory 2 stall,s wider than there actually draw, so where is the logic in deliberatly disadvantaging 4 horses when they can just disadvantage one

that was farcical. 2 didnt even start

Which, tbf, often happens with stalls

I hope the starter hasn't given up his day job

3 months ago pundits were bedwetting about horse losing 2 lengths in 3 mile Chase at chelt, a horse has just lost 20 lengths in a 5f race with a flag start, nothing to see next
11 runners down to 9 and only 4 could ever win,come racing folks

The two that didn't start were withdrawn. They were being held behind the pack.
