I know it didn't win but why did Balnagore go from around 15/1 to 30/1 pre race then touch 500/1 in running (On Betfair) whilst the race wasn't even half way through?
Someone knew something? I never had access to my computer so not sure what was happening also missed the tv coverage as had just got a taxi home before town was overtaken by the office party types.
My selections today were more speculative than anything else. I said I'd be playing small so as not to get in a hole and need to start digging. I managed to catch a few of the races and in the first I thought we were in with a real chance of scooping something at Musselburgh, the money did come for Ballymacduff I was on at 14/1 so when it was backed down to 15/2 I had a little more hope. Sadly when Bally went down Equation was hampered at the same fence and its run petered out and only managed 4.
The most frustrating one for me was Marley Roca at Doncaster, because he looked to be struggling early but when scrubbed along for a bit he was right back on the bridle and looked ready to come with a big run before he and the jockey attempted a star jump.
I am hoping that Murkle Boy puts in a performance and we can go into this evenings card breaking even.
