Thank you for such a detailed reply. I do take your point about CB, but I would suggest he lost his position through lack of pace rather than interference. But once that had happened, CB may have saulked.

I do agree if the race had been a genuine stamina test, the race could have easily produced a different result. I guess what I am suggesting, is that the days of the National being a stamina test may be over, unless the ground becomes heavy going.
