The deflation after Smarty lost was, also, something I hadn't experienced.

I saw this race live also, the excitement as Smarty Jones took the lead and was still in front as they turned for home was unbelievable, 120,000 people screaming. When Birdstone passed him in the final 70 yards, you could hear a pin drop. Everyone around was in stark disbelief.
