    Good ride from Buick but Main Sequence looked a bit of a monkey there tbh, the winner drifting right didnt help him but he had every chance to go and win the race and the winner simply wanted it more. The horse dosent owe me a penny but I wont be backing him again after that show, maybe a bit harsh because obviously he would have won if it was a truly run race but I dont like horses who allow inferior animals to beat them.

    Trust you to get it wrong when it's one I've "backed" Joe. Maybe I jinxed you.

    Nah, no jinxes, just a falsely run race, the right call in the race is clearly Main Sequence, you run the race 100 times hes going to win it more than 60 times, you put a pacemaker in it he will win it more than 90 times.

    If the best horse didnt lose alot there would be no betting on racing.

    As long as you get the first 7 furlongs Oddy, you will know the rest... or just get the whole message would be better...

    Incredible, things didnt really work out for him early doors and still cruised into the lead on the bridle and then opens up very easily.

    The Arc must come into Cecils mind now.
