    Schooling in public by Johnson again. Never even bothered going for the horse when the other two came to him. Hate it when they don't give it their all.

    No chance it would have won though Nass or been 2nd and he has got the place so can't complain. If he had of finished 4th different story

    Georgebernardshaw in the next, should get it easy up front and blinkers and yard form both make him really interesting.

    Hello lads.

    Decent racing at Taunton but nothing worth betting on from my perspective.

    200/1 winner!..<yikes>...Any stats experts know if there has been a bigger priced winner in the last 30 years?..I can't remember a bigger one,Terimon was second at 500's in the Derby a few years ago......

    Dex, I remember Maoi Chinn Tire winning at 200/1 at Wetherby in a listed heat. A mere 9 lengths it was too.

    Dickie Johnson keeps on going off way too quick and then getting caught rounding the home turn. Wishfull Thinking, Trafalgar Road, and a few others.

    Quite a worrying trend really. He's ridden those like he has no concept of pace at all.

    I hate jockeys, does Jamie Spencer read the formbook? He was on the only stayer in the race and had the chance to dominate at a true end to end gallop, yet he dawdles for half a race loses his position and comes home a close fourth without being able to ride for the final 100 yds.

    GRRRRRRR!

    Swanny, he gave it a great ride, exactly what Ruby was aiming to do on his but the proper stayer came through and won on the nod. RV, that horse seems to want less of a trip to me, not very good whatever trip you put him over.
