The jockeys had trouble pulling up their mounts after a false start.
There was drama in the last race at Wolverhampton tonight (Monday) as a full field of 11 was reduced to just two runners after a false start.
When a false start is called no horse who completes the course is allowed to take part in the restart.
One horse bolted all the way round, but a number of others could likely have been restrained and taken back to the start, including one horse who literally walked over the line.
It is not clear whether the jockeys did not know the rules or opted to not run their mounts in the second start.
Only the two horses who stopped their mounts and turned around and went the long way back to the start were allowed to take part in the restart.
It was left to the initail 6/1 shot, the Phil Dennis-ridden Scott Dixon-trained A Pint Of Bear to have a shoot out with the initial 33/1 shot Rose Fandango, who is trained by John O’Shea and was ridden by Rossa Ryan.
Ironically it was the outsider Rose Fandango who prevailed after getting a tow from A Pint Of Bear and mastering him in the straight.
