Ben Pauling 167 lbs 11/8F - Whipped round start - very slowly away - pulled up soon after start (jockey said gelding whipped around after the starting tape released and was very reluctant to race - and by the time gelding consented to eventually jump off - it quickly became apparent that he had virtually lost all chance of being competitive after forfeiting approximately 50 lengths and had therefore elected to pull gelding up)(op 6/4)
