"Flores Sea, 4lb higher than when scoring over course and distance 25 days earlier, moved sweetly into the home straight, but was unable to get to the winner try as he might. Things may well have been different had he not forfeited ground with a sluggish start, however, and he is evidently still weighted to go in"...Racing Post Synopsis

The info` was spot on, the horse was spot on, the price was spot on but....that`s racing!
