Satanic Beat in the 7 40 Aintree
I see Peter Park is out in the last at Sandown? ........weren't we told to back it on reappearance?
Basically one of the owners said a couple of months back that they are waiting for good/goodtofirm ground for him and it will win next time out and it's very highly thought of and all that, ( some of the maidens it was not that far beaten in by horses have gone on to be rated in the 90s, even twin sails is in the 100s ). Anyway, the last 4-5 time it's been entered it's ended up not running, always because of the going as it always ends up being soft / good-to-soft. Now to cut a long story short, it changed owner at the end of april, and Clive Cox's wife now owns it and not the same owner we spoke too. So i don't have a clue now what's going on with it, is it really just been a ground issue, or is it something more and has it had some niggles as it's now running in a class 5 race with a different owner.
For me, I've been waiting for the ****er to run for about 4 months, so hopefully it doesn't pull out, hopefully it goes in the stalls, hopefully it comes out the stalls, and win or lose i've had my £50 to win on it and i can stop looking out for it, or having to back it ever again, and hopefully it will win. But now, honestly? I don't have a clue. It's very strange, well thought of > constantly pulled out of races because of the going ( is it really just the going? or are they really expecting it to win next time out and haven't wanted to run it on any ground that might damage it's chances), why has Clive Cox's wife bought it at the end of April?
There's so many questions about this horse, as i said I hope it just runs, and if it loses we know it's just pretty ****ing **** or has had problems, and if it wins then it's even more mysterious, but i'll take my winnings and will be removing it from my tracker
So yeh there's the story. I can't really post here now and say yeh it's expected to win etc like the other month because that's a lie as it's now changed owner, but it was expected to win next time out 2 months ago, but who knows what's gone on.
But for all the fuss and all the farce, just have a 5er at 12/1 just incase

and Clive Cox is in such good form this season
