    On the drift but BELL HEATHER really shouldnt be far away in the lucky last. 10/1 makes it a fair EW shout.

    The kid has had 4/11 winners today (spread over 7 races) with the highest SP being 20/1. Judging by the time you posted I’m guessing you were on the shortie in the 1:55 that couldn’t get past his 20/1 shot?

    The kid? Hes 2 years younger than me. Yes I had Rio Quinta in a double with Desert Doctor. Learned after that he said the winner was a watching brief and Rio Quinta was his best chance of the day. But I already knew he was a crook anyway, doing his apprenticeship at Gordons. Normally I wouldnt dream of looking at Fakenham or the type of meetings he would have runners but with only 2 meetings on I looked and thought Rio Quinta was a good even money shot on form. Should have just took the odds on about Cross Counter who was the biggest jailcase of the day by a mile.

    Aaaahhhh so it was the pocket talking then! You should have realised it had no chance when Alex Hammond put it in her daily double!
    For a fledgling trainer Olly Murphy has done brilliantly (I think someone on here flagged him up early as a trainer to follow <nahnah>) and at least he will share his opinions with the press. He has had a fair leg up of course what with his old man being a pikey horse trader and all but he shouldn't be underestimated. He even has one in the yard that I wouldn't rule out of the Festival equation!

    His 20/1 winner yesterday had decent p2p form. Beat a horse rated in mid 130s now. Shame I only spotted that yesterday evening.
