..."Wonder how often the clip of him falling off the favorite in the stretch will get aired this week."
must be some sort of record for the number of errors in one line ...
A) Dick Francis didn't fall off
B) Devon Loch wasn't favourite
C) We don't have a "stretch" on British racecourse, we have a "home straight"
RIP.
