    Bet of the season in my opinion. Thanks to all the mugs who backed Duntle
    (except Oddy who I'm delighted got paid)

    ;)

    Glad for Chachamaidee and connections, Shes been a very genuine filly all year. Got to feel for Wayne Lordan, Was always going well just had no where to go when he needed to press the button...

    I'm surprised by the decision. Not because I think it didn't affect Chachamaidee because she was checked and it was Duntle's fault but because I've seen much worse than that which hasn't been reversed.

    Agree Oddy...an absolutely awful decision.

    Hope they appeal and that justice ultimately achieved.

    Double result means if your horse is first past the post you get paid <applause>

    chacha was all out, duntle was just getting going, chacha was never getting passed in a million years

    if duntle got a nice trip she would have won a couple of lengths very easily

    <laugh> 'out of jail bigstyle' i love it

    you could thank backers of any of the non-winning horses really as their money inflated the price of the winner.

    Chachamaidee, Non stayer? She was finishing like an express train after veering off a true line when asked to produce I think the decision to reverse the result is very debateable but I've seen worse reversed...

    <laugh> after the line <laugh>

    duntle knows where the line is, thats what seperates the greats from the group 3s

    the horse who passed the post in front, was a thoroughly deserving winner, deep down, you know that

    i still get paid but im absolutely gutted for the horse, she is all heart and overcame all sorts to win, the mark of a good one

    hollow victory for chacha, everyone knows who won that race ;)

    Duntle was so tired she was wandering all over the place and slamming into her rivals left right and centre ;)
