Yup, I backed him and couldn't believe he went from a long last to cruising up to challenge. That mistake just did for him, such was the stumble after.

I suspect he burned himself getting into a challenging position but I suppose we'll never know for sure.

I must confess watching the race live in the fog, I thought Where It All Began simply tailed off at the back and got pulled up.
I had no idea it started cantering down the outside, making significant headway on the bit and looking in a very dangerous position to stay on and easily win.
One bad jump cost it, looked like it landed awkwardly, lost balance and momentum and that knocked the stuffing out of it so it couldn't get going again.
It'll definitely win some big races in the future.
