Just watched the first race at Salisbury.  One of the biggest problems when horses are  in the starting stalls for a while, (over a minute) especially two year olds, they become tense and can get upset.  It is very claustrophobic when you are in the stalls, for both horse and jockey.  But I just saw two horses get upset in the 2:00 race,  both reared up, they were drawn next to each other, so highly likely they set each other off !

My view is that when this happens, horses should be withdrawn.   It’s unfair to connections and punters, you are beat before the race has even started.

More tomorrow.
