Friend of mine just sent me this link to one of todays races: Leading horse up by several lengths takes the wrong turn and instead of crossing the finish line, keeps racing for another round (horse was already traded at -10000 at betfair). Jockey on the 2nd place horse (also already traded at -10000) thinks, his lead is large enough to celebrate and doesn't go full speed across the finish line, just to lose the race in a photo finish to the 3rd horse, which already was traded at 1000:1 :):)

3 still should have been the winner, he just went extremely wide at the wire. I don't see how they can rule him to be the loser. The finish line goes all the way across.

Funny nonetheless.

3 left the course. Finish line doesn't extend into the grandstand.
