Let's try and take some lesson out of this disaster:
Firstly, the difference in the outcome was the rider: Rosario patiently outrode Talamo, who moved a bit too soon.
Second and MOST important: on this new-type of surface an early plodder is not an automatic tossout, esp. in a large field: the sheer number of horses almost guarantees a faster pace(ergo the front & anything near it will be backing up that much more late) & affords the plodder a better chance not to lose contact w/ the field.
As far as the contest: a consolation is that only @ 30 contestants had the horse-- we can still catch up, as long as there are at least two/three more bombs during the remainder.
