HORSES YOU THOUGHT WERE PLOT HORSES BUT JUST TURNED OUT TO BE ****

Smoking Aces wasn't a bad animal over hurdles, very tough and resilient. On his first three chase starts he did have the appearance of a horse out for a nice handicap mark. I'd forgive him todays run. He wants atleast another half mile anyway.

King Revo, Jewson a few years back

That one Jp had with Pipe..

Would that be the one that was heavily backed in a hurdle race at the PP meeting a few years back?

From memory didnt Sunnyhillboy then win the race at double figure odds?

Dont Push it....... backed it and backed it and backed it...... give up about 3 runs before the NAtional. :-(

Bigben - well remembered!!

Yes, that is the one, just checked the form book - Quanta De Thaix.

Greek Well. Had a ridiculous position on that for the Cambs convinced that Stoute was hiding its true talent under a bushel. Stood to win about £12k from memory.

I was wrong - it was worth about 85 and was utter c@ap. One time Derby fav aswell

not quite the title of the thread but i've never forgotten my big losing bet on pilsudski in royal ascot handicap off 82 rating....then watch him beat singspiel in breeders cup turf the next season...how on earth....

Ditto Medician (Magnet Cup off 80 something) went on to G1 glory
