I cancelled my bets on Royal Currier when he broke through the gate. He actually ran a nice race, tiring late. I have no statistical analysis to back up this perception, but I can only remember 1 horse winning after breaking through the gate before the start in all the races I have seen over the last 10 years or so (although I CANNOT remember the name of that horse). I would have to assume the sample size to be somewhere between 50 and 100, possibly more.
