It might look as though Omaha didn't fire that day -- he did. 4th place was beaten 18 lengths, 5th place was beaten 24 lengths, and 6th place beaten 26 lengths -- they all came back and won stakes. Omaha was a big success in Europe as a 4-year-old. Just missing in the Ascot Gold Cup in front of a reported crowd of over 200,000 people.

OK ... Omaha got robbed...and 200,000 Brits saw it.

Watch this race and tell me he did not win.

Thankfully, we have photo finish cameras now.
