    7.40 Market Rasen Flying Doctor - 10 e/w at 20/1. Dropped down to 93 (!!) by the handicapper after a series of poor efforts. Just like this time last year when, having been dropped to 95, he bolted up at Cartmel and follwed up 5 days later at Sedgefield.

    Crap - wouldn't have won off 39, never mind 93.

    You looked at the race in the context of one running. That is not how the bookies work. That is why one of them sponsors the race.

    All the each-way mugs that piled on whatever Pricewise tipped lost their money. Most years the winner is a double digit starting price.

    Wait for the handicaps at York next week when the punters are getting really fleeced, especially the ones that are seven furlongs or more and the punters just have to guess whether they come up the far side, the stands side or the middle.

    You can watch it there Wooly. Above the video there is the tab saying 'live racing'. Click that and scroll down to find Arlington Race 7 for the St. Ledger. You can only watch for 30 mins a day so be careful

    Not bad that will do nice e/w on Side Glance coming in third <party>- Grandeur just had too much to do with the wide draw!

    Well done Wooly great tipping. I had Dandino and Dank but unfortunately put Little Mike in with them for treble so ended up with sweet FA!
