Once serious money's down on a horse you see the effing difference in the riding even whipped the sh it out of it to get it up into the lead at the start, takes out another horse and drives on it like a mad man. safe to say money was defiantly down on it.

Got to love horse racing sometimes, Alpine Storm wins but we can rite that race off imo. See the difference in the rides though, Gibbons rides like a mad man on Centre and then that one there .

Its funny when you see the ride on Centre and then that one, centre he whips it and drives it to the front, barges his rival out the way and gives it everything to win by 1/2l, the money was down.... this one drifted and he takes a dodgy looking tumble... doesn't give racing a very good name does it but we've come to expect it as die hard racing lovers.

« UR 3 Lilly Junior 2/1 3-9-1 p William Haggas 72 Graham Gibbons
Tracked leader, raced keenly, lost footing on bend over 7f out, rider lost balance and unseated (op 7/4 tchd 9/4) --------------- ANALYSIS
A fair small-field 3yo handicap concluded the card, but it was an eventful race which produced an understandably modest comparative winning time.
ALPINE STORM took a strong hold on the lead in the formative stages of the contest, so much so that it appeared to unsettle Lilly Junior in second, who took a false step after 2f and unseated her rider Graham Gibbons. The loose horse lit up Alpine Storm even more for a brief period, but she settled down with about 3f remaining, and saw out the remainder of the journey in decent fashion for a ready win.
Incurs Four Faults has been in fine front-running form but made a slow awkward start on this occasion. It seemed likely that this race may still fall into his lap, once the two remaining runners settled down to fight it out with 3f remaining, but he finished a laboured second.
