Howling Time was not one of the two horses who were involved in the spill near the quarter pole.

Both of them were able to walk off, as were their respective jockeys.
Eclipse was very astute to cancel the ticket on Howling Time, since he just didn't have his mind on running. He broke near the back of the pack and never really improved his position. The chart simply says, "never reached contention."
