Oh and Arazi winning Breeders cup juvenile. can't remember year just now but google it. Like something from a movie
Totally agree. Despite not having a penny on Frodon yesterday, having been a follower in the past, I absolutely loved watching the horse get back up after being headed. The hairs were up on my neck at the race alone, then the passion and emotion from BF and connections after were brilliant. It's moments like that I manage to convince myself I'm not just in this for my punting habit, but for a love of the game. Similar to the time I was out my seat roaring Kauto Star to a 5th King George without betting a penny, and those around me not understanding how I could be so excited without a bet.
As far as other certain moments go - I always remember Annie Power falling at Cheltenham (2015?) and bursting many bets (including my 4 fold) but the biggest roar of the day apparently being for a fallen horse with curtains round etc, getting back on its feet and running off fit and well. And rightly so.
Hutchy, what are you backing today?
Last day, so I’ve gone for an E/W Lucky 15.
2.10- Monsieur Lecoq 15/2
2.50- Derrinross 10/1
3.30- Bellshill 9/1
4.10- Shantou Flyer 8/1
4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and an accumulator. Treble odds for 1 winner.
Terrible outcome of the first race.
Unfortunately, that's the game.
Couldnae have backed that, incident filled race though.
Kemboy didn't give me much to cheer about in that one!
Disappointing end to the week, but more fun this week that the last time :greengrin
I just about broke even overall, after a terrible day today.
4 losers but broke even. Worse weeks have been had.
I got a text from Ladbrokes telling me I was in front with bets on Pentland Hills, wasnae tempted to back it though. 😪
Had quite a bad week overall, maybe best to stick to the football!:rolleyes:
Was waiting on Native River for a treble. Gutting seeing it fall away :loser:
All in all a fun week had though!
Got my 1st ante post be on for next year already,Envoi Allen to win any race at next years festival at 8-1 with Skybet,this horse could be the real deal.
