Again: Start The Party recorded a time 2.27 seconds slower than Canford Cliffs. Same weight, same age, same course.

2.27s = 13.62 lengths = 27.24 lbs

If Canford Cliffs has run to 126, that puts Start The Party on 98 at a minimum.

Start The Party failed to win the handicap yesterday off a mark of 80.

If he ran to 98 in doing so, he must be the unluckiest handicapper in history to have at least 18lbs in hand over his rivals, yet run into another horse with even more in hand.

And how unlucky does that make the third Goldarover? A stone better than his handicap mark, yet could only manage third.
