Every gambler has had that sinking feeling as your horse starts badly and becomes detached from the field. The betting slip is ready to be ripped up as you wait to hear that the horse has been pulled up.

Backers of Calidoscopio in the 1 and a half mile Brooklyn Handicap would have had sinking feeling as he fell 22 lengths back from the field. However they also would have been frantically searching for that slip as the horse ate up the ground to produce a stunning victory.
Calidoscopio won the $200,000 Grade 2 handicap at Belmont Park in New York at a price of 15-2.
