It's all very well saying that Lucy In The Sky is a runner, because she didn't gain a material advantage and is therefore there isn't a scratching.

The real problem is the other jocks are expecting a false start to be called and yet it isn't. I had no vested interest in this race, but to me the starter erred and the race should be declared null and void.

What would have happened if one of the 20-1 shots had beaten the Fav a s/h? Everyone would be bitching and moaning again.

Spot on Justanotherpunter, a false start is a false start. If a horse gains 1cm advantage or 1 metre advantage at the gates the race should be null and void. IMO stipes are absolutely useless!!! Stipes should be dismissed for bring the game into disrepute.
