PU but you will be if you plough through the fences...!! Great finish for Rapid Response though, a bob header on the line...!!
Tough win that for GDM, Ashdale Bob gave him a great run for his money... Tops off a good season for GDM...<OK>
Staker Wallace next up and there is a bit of money coming for it, into 5/1 now from around 8's this morning....
Just realised Will Biddick chose to come over here to ride Caid Du Berlais instead of riding at Cheltenham including missing a ride on his own horse... Without the 2 favs at 11/8 and smaller on with them at 7/2...
Ran a good race considering he nearly fell at the first... Great finish for Maxwell on Bob n Co in the end...
I know a lot of punters don't like David Maxwell as he sometimes throws away races where other riders would win but I have to say I'm delighted for him... He absolutely loves the sport and what could be more enjoyable than riding a horse you bought yourself at meetings like Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown. He's basically living a lot of people's dreams and I can't begrudge him for it. Never really heard him speak before but seems like a really likable guy. He's put a good bit of money into the sport and it's a bit of a fairytale story every time he wins a race...
Bob And Co won. I had a double with Highway Jewel (and I know I am repeating myself but if the mare had run in Festival she would have won, the more distance the better she runs. What fools the owners were). Get My Drift 2nd. Fifty Shades 3rd.
