False start chaos at Wolverhampton sees field reduced to two horses

25/1 shot Rose Fandango emerged victorious.

There was a chaotic end to the card at Wolverhampton on Monday night as a false start resulted in the original 12-strong field being reduced to just two runners.

The 8.30pm Download The Racecourse App Raceday Ready Handicap saw the starter flag for a false start after the stalls opened, but the majority of runners covered most of the seven furlongs before pulling up.

When they lined up again, the field had been reduced to Rose Fandango and A Pint of Bear.

The former, trained by John O’Shea and ridden by Rossa Ryan, prevailed at 25/1.

The mass withdrawal led to an 85p Rule 4 being applied.
