Picks Lad was a winner at Taunton in controversial circumstances. 

 

Picks Lad passed the post in second place,

 

But he was so nearly brought down on the home bend by the winner in what rather looked a dangerous piece of riding, and then with the winner drifting in towards PL after the last meant the Stewards looked and reversed the placing..a correct decision.

 

Worth watching the full race and fast forwarding to just before the last bend..
