    How the hell did Bondesire not win? Looked a clear neck up going by the line, commentator calls it, comes up as the winner on screen, never seen anything like it.

    ripon 8.20 Chooseday 12/1

    Well, we're into the last leg of the placepot. Hoping for once that Hugh Taylor is on the money with his selection. Will need Kieren O'Neils mount Songburst to bounce back from a bad run last time again too. Very tricky last leg!

    I agree, i actually backed the winner in this race, but turned it off thinking it had lost. and only realised that it had won when unexpected money was in my account when i logged in later.

    How desperate was that looked home for all money as a certain commentator would say.

    ****s me off when they lose like that. Only beaten 1L by the winner, yet finished 4th. Also bumped into a horse on the inside which checked its momentum. Wonder what it would have paid.

    Cost me about £700, assuming Larkrise Star wouldn't have shrunk the dividend by much.

    Anyone see Joseph O'Brien ease that horse up then?


    Disgraceful.

    Triple Eight for me in the last for the bang in form Phillip Kirby but I'll be on Collateral Damage as well if money comes.

    Joseph O'Brien with a disgusting ride there. I am a big fan of the lad but that is shocking.

    He thought he had it won easily - funny the horse is entered up tomorrow <whistle> it will bolt in off the same mark

    Twp nice winners and some hard luck. Hughes was amazingly relaxed on the Art Of Racing tonight and I expect much better next time. Probert was so lucky to walk away from his fall. Having watched it twice he got a hefty bump two out and I think that may have dislodged the tack. Glad he was able to walk away.

    I was slightly concerned about being in the Abdullah away kit but it could hardly have been any more impressive in doing it from the front and quickening away!
