5.40 Kempton - Trecherous

Have backed it at 2.72

Somebody just pushed it to 3.8 - soon came back down to 3.3, though.

waqt big @ 25.0 w/p

Thought this would be odds on tbh. Have backed at 3.2

Yeah surprised at the drift, hopefully it's not an inside job!

good luck all

got the place bit again

is there a bigger nonsense than racing round there,

THEY STOPPED THAT

lol drift said it all gutted :(

Lovely ride there. Hooked into last at the start, taken right round the whole field out wide. Given a few smacks without time to properly respond over 1f out. Win next time no doubt.

didnt look great, strangled out the gate circled the field wide round the bend and had fack all left at the finish

"Laboured effort" - **** off.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!

(there is a RAT in me Kitchen - What are my gonna do?????)

Did jock really look as though he was ever trying at any point in that race?

Answers on a postage stamp please!

deserve all yous get lads.

a snake pit that, only any use for Johnny G and co getting decent maidens going.

The rest is a disgrace to sport.

Didn't look great. I heard EdG had links to Barney.

I rarely back horses in low grade races nowadays because of the amount of skullduggery. Having seen that win last time in the manner of a horse that can run up a sequence I took my chances and backed it. The game is totally unpoliced and anyone who can read a race knows what has happened there.

is it any wonder this stuff goes on when the so called pundits on the television daily have a default position of sweeping blatant rides like that under the carpet!  The so called "informed" of the RUK bench chose to file the effort under "laboured"  The only labouring going on through out that race was the jockey anchoring the horse.

Dear, oh dear - Beat a previous winner, readily, last time out, that has been raised 6lbs for it's win.

Harder to Lose, than Win again, today in essence.

Would have been lucky to get Evens in a similar situation in Australia -  and it would have sailed in.

I honestly don't know if they failed to identify what has gone on there or if they spotted it and just brushed it off with a few cliches.

Indeed, onlooker.
Had everything in his favour and I just assumed that they would want to win another race with their well handicapped horse.
More fool me.

BHA need to investigate the layers of that and who they are linked to. This happens with these crooks so often

Barton Bank, if they failed to see what went on there, they shouldn't be doing that job.

Stevie Wonder could have seen what went on there!

There definetely need to be questions asked. 
Every text-book effort not to win a race, at a track like Kempton, was in full play on that horse today.

I could have written that post myself - Barton -  as I felt, and did, exactly the same ... changing just one word, though -

'I rarely back Favouriteshorses in low grade races

I will guarantee one thing. Questions will not be asked.

Callum Shepherd reported that TREACHEROUS, unplaced, hung left-handed.

Lol. Brilliant. Almost as if he is claiming that the horse made himself go so wide rather than an intentional move on his own part. Wonderful stuff.

Barton Bank -

We have both been around this game for a long time - and both, along with several others on here, understand the game, FULLY... You can tell that by the way certain people post.

Had it been trained by one of the 'usual suspects' - and we know who they are - or ridden by one of Betfair Eddie's ilk ... we would have then said, 'it can run without the weight of my money on it's back'.

But that one looked like a 'Proper Favourite'.

quite an apt name for the horse given the performance tonight

I was influenced by another horse in the same colours for the same yard that had run up a sequence of wins and been campaigned seemingly completely on his merits.
Did occur to me that price looked bigger than it should have been pre race, as I posted above. But if you start not backing horses that look overpriced what's the point even bothering at all. Obviously we all back plenty of losers over the course of a season and stake wise it was only a slightly above average bet but it has really braased me off. The drift, the ride, the lack of diligence from the stewards, the media ignorance/compliance.
What price would we have got if it was getting a conventional ride? 6/4? evens? 4-5. Who knows?
