Cheers Attivo. Tricky looking card at Dundalk but I do like Mademoiselle Penny in the lucky last off top weight 4/1
well done ste -just seen King Robert totally cut up three times in the last furlong --would have won easy with a clear -.... sand racing at Wolves ,,....
Cheers SBC, stuck in an e/w Barney Rubble with a 10/1 shot at Dundalk and the drift on yours to 16s meant a 6/1 payout with the other one finishing in the frame also.
The periodicals and news bulletins, right now, show that we live a million miles away from an ideal world but on Saturday, for a few mins, something pretty damn close existed as Cocktails At Dawn did indeed finish 4th someway behind the winner. Must say though that he was the most blatant non-trier that I’d seen for a good hour and half! And I must say that I thought that 'Nickers' Henderson and ‘Dazzler’ Jacob would have come up with a plan more cunning than simply dropping him out the back, cantering him round at three-quarters speed and hoping that one of the others wouldn’t complete for one reason or another. This, of course, happened though so mission accomplished and Cocktails at Dawn is now qualified for the 2017 Grand National. The next part of the plan though is will the old boy handicapper be accommodating and drop the horse a few pounds in the perchings. The answer will be known later in the week…
