Just saw the replay, stumbled out the gate, you'd have to fancy the form to be reversed next time they do battle.
You probably would, and she probably will but for me a slight stumble or whatever it was at the beginning of the race run over a mile and a half is not an excuse for getting beaten. In a sprint yes, but not over a mile and a half IMO and plenty of horses have had bad starts and went on to win big races. Good race though, but she was quite a short price favourite, and IMO Dettori underestimated how much horse he had left underneath him as he cruised into contention but got nailed on the line. That's happened to him before and that was in a sprint. Just my opinion though.
