Yes, I thought the starting was diabolical, it ruined the chances of several horses. The starter too often seemed in panic mode to get them away regardless and when he did resort to getting them to line up for a standing start he let them have their noses on the tape. I know it’s not an easy job and the jockeys have a lot to answer for (it was much better on Friday after they had the Riot Act address), but it shouldn’t happen.
