When did you get 16/1 on Burton Port.I don't have the horse ever being that price ?2012-02-17 20 bt36512 sky16 tote25 boys14 betfred33 sporting25 VC14 Bsq33 paddy25 james33 888.com25 laddies20 coral25 billiesthey were the prices on that day.
Fair enough. Must have backed before the Aon at half the odds available everywhere else.
We had a Thread about the horse on that day searching for the best prices before and after the race as we fancied it to run a big race.
I must have ignored totes 16/1 as it was double that everywhere else.

Just like to say well done to Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty for outstanding training/riding performances and to Patrick and Willie Mullins for their fantastic handling of Champagne Fever. Today was a day I shall not forget in a hurry.
