Everything goes perfectly. Smartly out of the gate (the favourite and main danger put out of the race immediately in a mess behind) moves to the lead after 500 metres and accelerates clear down the back (the other danger galloping in the attempt to keep up), six lengths clear into the straight and under no pressure ('you can put away your glasses'), then... catastrophe!.. without warning he gallops. No real idea why. Not fatigue because he would hardly blow out a candle out after the race. He has done it before last year with Marion so there is something to be worked out for next time... at Amiens on Bastille Day probably. I'll be there with Kurt!
