Lower Hope Dandy and Laughton Park pulled out so only three places and a huge rule 4 coming...........smell of bookie fix methinks!!!!
RIP Zaynar - looked a world beater as a juvenile but couldn't quite get to the top table. A very game and likeable sort though. Wasn't this the horse that you know who from Greenford lost a large brown envelope on at 1/14?
Odddy I loved Zaynar. Sure was Strange horse - won 5 in a row lost at 1-14 and won only 1 in 17 after that.
Think I had a tenner on the forecast! Thought it might pay for a pint. ****s sake. At no point did I think he'd get beat but I remember someone calling it 3 hurdles out. In hindsight he was in trouble some way from home. Pre race he was 9/2 jolly for the Champ Hurdle and I backed him e/w for the Champion Hurdle after the races at 9s.
Fancy an ew on zitenca in next jockey has a good record in past with horse plus distance seems ideal just thought id throw my 2 pence worth in and keep up the good work all
