I have stood for Prabeni a couple of times this season but fortunately tonight I finally got round to opposing him. The horse is a one-paced dog. It was laughable how the clowns on RUK were bigging up Moore's ride on Sextant when he beat Prabeni and one of the slowest horses in the Gosden yard. Sextant probably had about two stone in hand.

38.42 winner with jockey not looking like he wanted it to win.
|
By:
Tudhope was utterly hopeless, just assumed it was a given he would win.
|
By:
feckin what was Tudhope doing exactly in that finish...???
|
By:
Only bothered trying once it was obvious he wouldn't catch the other one?
|
By:
James looked no better on the winner.
|
By:
Maybe so, but still doesn't excuse Tud 'effort' on that 1/4 shot
|
By:
That final couple of furlongs was odd to say the least from Tudhope. Only got stuck in when it was too late.
I had no bet. |
By:
Don't think it was dodgy, more over-confidence, which is infuriating for punters.
|
By:
Guessing he won't ride so 'oddly' next time he's on an O'Meara gamble for example...odd that.
|
By:
winning jockey done nth wrong sparrow, won cosy
|
By:
At least winning jock had an excuse that he was in front.
|
By:
I backed 1.3 happy to get out at 1.24 never thought he looked happy
|
By:
does 'getting stuck in' necessarliy make the horse go faster?
we don't know, we've never ridden a racehorse. |
By:
It seemed to pick up again and close when he went for it, so yes IMO
|
By:
I'm sure I've seen Tud go for his whip like crazy to get a horse home at other times, so why not there?
|
By:
rule no.1 never trust rat-faced jockeys. mckeown, jimmy quinn etc
|
By:
stu, may have been instructed by trainer not to go hard on the horse, remember they are not arsed they are not backing them
|
By:
Maybe just got overconfident when he should have tried to kick ahead further out, but not good either way.
|
By:
TBF his final ride out in the finish wasn't too bad, just that he sat back too long earlier in trying to gain an edge over the other horse, prob thinking he would win easy.
|
By:
oh well, like you say, they don't give a stuff about the 1/4 backers losing dosh for sure - I had some of it, but it wasn't my biggest winner in the field either.
|
By:
Tudhope is a first class tw@t end of. That was absolutely pathetic. He used the whip enough but not how it should be used. He never got after the horse with any strength at all and made the effort all too late. Ferkin useless and it happens regularly with him.

Its become farsical. Some bright spark will say lay them instead of asking why this isn't being looked into.
|
By:
strange as up till last year you wouldn't be asking the question.
|
By:
heavier weight on ground softening by minute
|
By:
It's not ethical to lay horses.
|
By:
surely the market is as efficient on heavy ground
|
By:
the market may be but the results aren't
|
By:
this year last year chalk and cheese with haggas.
last year 31% in favour of the blind backer this year 32% in favour of the blind layer |
By:
sorry fred if the market is then the results are too
|
By:
actually the return for the layer this year on the Haggas odds on is around 44%
