Did you see the 3-horse Ormonde S-G3 at Chester of a few years back? I think it was 2008. The pace horses scratched out, the 3 came out of the gate at little above a walking pace, nearly came to a standstill after cantering gently for several strides; took a half-furlong before one jock put his horse into a gallop and took the lead (they won, too).
