That was Arcadas 3rd start where it made all- Lancaster Bomber was on debut and 'kept on steadily- never involved'. He is now on his 3rd start with all sorts of room for improvement, hence me taking the chance.
Not questioning the bet at all, I like it actually I just had Arcada ahead of LB today, that's not to say LB won't finish ahead. Just my opinion. Definitely worth taking the fave on at the price though. Stephanie Frances on a side note, man if she could jump she would be a lovely horse. Clouted most fences again after a lovely round at Sudell recently.
LB hemmed in at a key stage although didn't run on in the final furlong so perhaps he's have not got too close anyway.
You definitely were denied a run at the crucial point. Relative big race experience of Mcnamara was lacking. He will hopefully learn in time. Lady Aurelia got the job done. Not at all as flashy as at Royal Ascot but a 1 on the board all the same.
Just had a text from my colleague who informs me that T4 wins the 7.12 Poole. Don't know what price it is or will be until just before the off but let's see if he is right (he has good reason though).
Mick- greyhounds are even worse than horses. One little tap on the bend and it's game over for your chances- absolute lottery.
