In the chart it only said "broke through and lost rider". Nothing about him running off. Makes you wonder how reliable charts are in reporting breakthroughs for studies. This should not count as just a breakthrough.

There may be some rebellion going forward regarding any attempt to enforce Pink Lloyd to attend gate-schooling as "We don't need no gate-education!" has been stamped into the hay.
On a serious note, I hope you guys cancelled your win wagers and hedged your lead-in-multis
(add gate incidents to other rare angles such as 'significant negative physicality observations' to the list of incomplete info involved in multi-race wagers) (and backed up/ hedged your multis ->) with a dutch and exacta-box of the other 3 win contenders
. As much as we'd love to see our money 'protected', these rare chances to adapt are one angle that is still afforded the semi-serious horseplayer. - I didn't play the race live and can't comment on whether the opportunity to cancel, and/or wager was actually afforded the player during the 10th race gate incident. I have capitalized on some in the past, and I have also watched helplessly during such incidents that happened to occur as the gate crew had 'closed' betting, where cancelling and re-wagering was not made available.
