Yep, thought we'd worked out the race perfectly.

Opinion Poll wasn't supposed to go on the ground.

Still that's 2 placed in me e/w lucky 15 so far...

Good call on Approve Wire!!

If Demolition sneaks a place in the Ebor Temple Meads failing to finish in the top three will have cost me around £120.

I know the horse blatantly didn't stay the 6f, but I thought Fortune didn't do enough to keep hold of 3rd place...I may just be being harsh but that's the way I saw it in real time.

I know it probably doesn't stay 6f and I'm not saying it would have won but it seemed to take 2f to settle to me. Whether that's the jockey's fault or that the horse was too eager I'm not sure but I wasn't too impressed with the ride myself.

Strange aswell how the last 2 times under Richie Mullen the horse has been switched off out the back and came through strongly to win. Fortune gets up and it's pulling hard, not settling and ends up making the running??

Still think it's a damn good 5f horse though and will just add Fortune to Richard Hills on my banned list.

Shame that aswell because Hills is on an absolute monster tomorrow aswell and I would be having probably my biggest single bet for a long time but for him riding it....

Spencer has pulled out a few eyecatching winners these past few days.

They said on the tele the highest it was matched at on the exchanges in running was 64/1 (ouch!) Twice Over was matched as low as 1/5, again (ouch!)

I remember reading a tale, some idiot lost 9k on Betfair laying something at absolutely massive odds, only to see it win.

Bad bad bad day at the office.... hoping tomorrow is going to be a little better when I go to York and hoping that Werder Bremen can reduce todays losses with a win tonight too.

Excellent stuff... despite the world almost knowing and getting nowhere near the price you expected, the horse won easily. Good info.

Thanks a lot.

**Even more on Werder Bremen now !!**

Whats the word for Ransom Note tomorrow... know somebody fancied it at Goodwood despite its bad draw so surely tomorrow is time to get the money back ?

Looking at the rest of the York card, looking forward to seeing Maqaasid in the 2:15 continue her unbeaten run. Cracking race in the Oaks with Midday & Sariska clashing but I have a feeling Snow Fairy could upset her elders and take it. And in the last I fancy Fallon to bring home the bacon wuth Hoof It.
