Biggest tote place I've ever seen at Taunton in the first race, horse that came third paid £66 for a place, in the old days you could get tote places without entering the pool in hills.....
Clonmel 15.55 is a very weak race. Doldido won a maiden hurdles and then failed in his debut in the handicap. It is surprising that now they send him to fences. Money all day towards him. Now 8/1. It can be a good bet e/w.
Means that nobody got it, though, or hardly anybody. Place at Betfair SP was 46.24. BSP for the win (it got 3rd, of course) was 1000/1! Ten times the industry SP.
actually looked at it this morning for the forecast but fancied 2 others in the race as well so just thought ah **** it lol
RIP David Barons. He will always be associated with Seagram of course but also won 2 Hennessys and of course 2 Whirbreads with the wonderful Topsham Bay. Had great success bringing New Zealand bred horses to the UK including the 2 I mentioned.
Don't shoot the messenger, but got an email from one of the Irish lads from Dundalk, and reckons the word is out that Hamish McGonagain 7.10 Wolver is having a go. Shane Grays father lives in Dundalk? Good luck if you play, looks a trappy handicap to me, but if O'Meara has it right, must be good e/w shout?
On another note, Waiting Patiently raised 6lb for his Ascot romp to 170. Think this one could go right to the top.
The 7.10 should be interesting with 2 "info" jobs, and Wooly keen on his well backed selection! Shall we Dutch the 3? If there is such a thing!!!
