Thats more like it drifted to 11/4 market went all over the place shame Deep South couldnt place was well backed though from the 8s to 9/2

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 24, 2010 1:16 pm  

Abergavenny 5/2

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 24, 2010 1:20 pm  

Spencer's mount p!ssed it. Was tempted to follow his advise in the Daily Star to double his mounts in the 2.15 and 2.45 but didn't bother. If I had, Abergavenny would've probably walked it.

Tenner on Margot Did at 2/1 to see where that gets me.

Honestly thought it was wrapped up until Moore loomed up near the line, gives the form of Memory another boost though.

Just been on Betfair and got a nice little bit on Workforce. I reckon his class and the weight-for-age-allowance will scrape him the race

My idea of the finishing order; Workforce, Daryakana, Harbinger, Cape Blanco, Youmzain, Confront.

Would have Youmzain finishing a bit better if the field size was bigger, he always does well in a big field seemingly.

What an absolute demolition job from Harbinger. Even on form I don't think Workforce would've been able to touch Harbinger.

Wish I hadn't changed my mind earlier in the week. Think I over thought the whole process which landed me at Workforce , the weight put me off Harbinger but he might as well have had a flea on his back.

Ryan Moore will be the most gutted man in the world now I'd imagine. Peslier on the other hand...

Workforce is the best of the lot by quite a long way.... Harbinger isn't in his the Derby winners league, Harbinger is also so short i'm laying him too.

Big bet on Workforce to win, and I expect to see him win comfortably on the way to the arc'.

I can see Harbinger showing the Derby form up and getting the better of Workforce next Saturday. If I'm wrong I will happily hold my hand up and eat humble pie.

Its funny how the mind can alter in the space of a week...

If I'd followed my initial hunch I could've kicked back and had a cigar with anyone that actually backed Harbinger today. 9/4 midweek and touched 9/2 on the day .

But, I didn't, so onto Goodwood it is. The Sussex looks fascinating with Canford Cliffs set to face Rip Van Winkle.
Zacinto runs tomorrow but doesn't look like he wants to race so far this year so thats a no no.

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:09 pm  

Am not even going to say how much.

Unreal from Harbinger though

Re: Even more betting here : Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:30 pm  

Two losers I was confident about and lost 85 notes. Never mind.

If I was told today any horse would win the King George by over ten lengths I'd have said they were an idiot.


Looked a shoe in but how my luck has been lately only had a fairly small bet - but it just won, Ardour at Salisbury. I desperately had to take 1/2, went off 4/9 I think. Couple of debutants that were a bit lively. Glad I didn't bank so much on it to recoup my losses, it won but I don't think my ticker could've coped - certainly had to work for the win.

Im not gonna say how much either.

I was wrong.
