Globalisation defies the maximum 1,000

>>Globalisation was matched for £86 at the maximum 1,000 in running on Betfair before forcing a dead-heat at Ffos Las.

The 13-8 favourite was only third inside the final half-furlong but rattled home and, with 3-1 chance Copper Birch idling in front, Globalisation put his head down on to join issue on the line.

That proved costly for backers who matched more than £13,000 at 1.01 in running on Copper Birch, while those who forced him to 1.4 in the photo were also stung. Globalisation was backed at 1.34 for the verdict but drifted before the result was announced.
