One day at Leicester I have a what I think is a really good bet the only other pro punter at the meeting is John Gough I want to back this horse at no less than 2/1 it's like 4/1 in the betting forecast.
The beast opens at 2/1 I am keeping my eye on John to make sure he does not beat me in I am thinking this is going to go out in price next thing I know John sends his man in to back it and the price has gone so
I don't get a chance to back it and of course the thing wins by a mile. aggggggggggggg
At Fontwell one day all the pro punters are there I have worked out a good bet and it's a big price now I have to keep a close watch on the other pros because I don't want them to beat me in.
Who do I see making his way towards the ring but John The Beard opps he can kill the price like a rocket I run around the back to the ring and beat him in backing the beast to win a nice few shillings
I watch John back the same horse out of interest the reason I made it a good bet was because it had beaten the fav in a race on the flat and at double figs it looked a good bet.
Result was the horse wins.
What was a surprise was the other pros never found the form line and never backed it.
