9/4 is just too big about dynaste,I've got to back him at that price.

Super Duty for me, will win from the front in a tactical race. Don't like Dynaste on good ground.

if SS wins with his head in his chest today (which is entirely possible) then there's every chance he'll run in the KG

How many people were put off by the price?
If you say 'i have to back him at THAT PRICE *GASP*' Surely if you continue to back horses that drift to a price far bigger and 'offputting' throughout the year you will end up in the street with yer hands out? I dunno, at times i still feel the bookies are the ones in power |

Interesting point Jon Jon, but the flip side is that the entire essence of betting is that you have to find ones where the price is too big. Lots of horses drift like barges and still win. Many of my most memorable (and biggest) winning bets have been on horses like that. I can go back to Desert Orchid's 4th King George, when he touched 9-4 and probably should have been 1-3, or User Friendly in the St Ledger, who went from odds on to 11-4 against and won like a good odds on shot. This was nothing like as dramatic as those.
I think the key if a horse drifts dramatically is to understand why. This one was beaten when red hot favourite last time out, and there were some reservations about the ground. Add to that a second favourite from the Nichols/Walsh team and a reasonably well fancied McCain runner at Aintree at a working man's price, and you can see why the people who look at the Sun racing page and make their mind up in 2 minutes were not backing the favourite. And at this meeting, especially today, those people are a huge chunk of the market. The way I read it, if you were sure he was in top form and the ground had been a bit softer, he was a 4-6 chance at most. Because there were risks, I rated his chance about evens. At 6-4 I'd have started to get a bit interested. At 5-2 that's just a crazy crazy price on easily the best horse in a 6 runner field and you just had to be all over it. |
