I could be wrong, but here is what I saw. It looked to me that the starter let'em go while the handler was still down in the well. He opened the gate while the handler was in the process of climbing up to get out of the way. He had a good hold on the horse when the starter opened the gate. IMO it was the the right call to make it a non starter and refund any wagers on the eight.
