Okay, I am going to come clean here. I do not normally touch the huge field cavalry charges (anywhere) but I have winnings to play with from 5/1 Porta Fortuna. Since I can have six places in the finale, I am sticking with Woodhay Wonder each way at 16/1 as she did me a favour bringing up her four-timer last time. I just hope that she can reproduce her form away from Newmarket (four from five) and Newbury (won on only visit). Follow a filly in form...
At least this time he got to the finish line with the jockey on him...last. Edit: Not last, second last.
Thank you very much, but... honestly, it's been a very bad week, only three placings with Electrolyte (40/1), Carrytheone (25/1) and Dark Vintage (66/1). The only horse that won was one that I didn't place on the forum, Ain't Nobody (took 14/1 in the morning and won SP 5/1). It happens. But, I repeat, awful week, no excuses. Even some of the horses I put in have come last. For tomorrow, I have one bet for three weeks, but I don't have much confidence in him even though he is now favourite. Then I'll put him, although the odds are low. Given how the week has gone I don't think it's a good idea to back him but....
I'll be honest, yesterday afternoon I thought about doing it when I saw he was running, not because I thought he was going to win, just because of the name, but I decided to back Dark Vintage and.... when I saw that he won I started to laugh.
My Guineas double of Rosallion and Porta Fortuna looks even unluckier after Royal Ascot. A Martin Peters bet? 7 weeks before its time.
