Mulholland wins with the other one

Saved them an explanation if the fav finished out the back and that donkey wins with ease

exactly --- and the poor TV pundits lost for words with the ridiculousness of the situation - come racing!

Yep they bothered to take them both there enter both prepare both and paid extra for Spencer to take great care all the way down to post (check the video) and of course instructed
him to push it through the gates so the right one could win

Have a word with yourself

In the real world

The winner got a very soft lead in a weak race and just kept on with no obvious signs of a gamble, arguably the weakest runner in the market pre-race

This place hasn't changed

You're right - it hasn't - nothing to see here

Spend less time and energy on things you have zero control over (even if they are only in your head)

Therapists on here too - do I have to pay for that or is it all part of the Betfair commission - FYI, I won on the race 4 places, the 4th. I just find this kind of crap shocking.... frankly I find it hard to swallow that a 'soft lead' can bring about that much improvement in the winner (look at it's last 4 runs please) who happened to be trained by the errant favs trainer.

shooda, that's the point, a soft lead in a crawl doesn't require any improvement in form.

Wow! There really are a lot of experts on here - presumably doing very well for yourselves - at least I'm learning something - the only thing is I don't know what I've learned - how was I to know that a horse that has been held up in rear on it's last 4 starts and finished nearly last (sometimes last) would get a soft lead today? And further advice. All very useful ..... when I can get my head round it. Truly. I appreciate it.

Any further advice? not 'and'

..frankly I find it hard to swallow that a 'soft lead' can bring about that much improvement in the winner 


Your exact words, I'll leave you to work things out, but unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to.

You seem very rattled for someone who has presumably been punting for 20+ years

I lost the race but it doesn't matter because it is 1 race out of a whole lifetime's worth so has zero bearing really

If every horse running pattern was set in stone and never changed the Uk market would be like King Kong and if you think betting over here is hard....

Shooda is hopelessly addicted. These threads are commonplace.

Wow - a whole gang - you must all be very well connected. So there is NO-ONE else in this forum who finds it at least mildly concerning that that horse won that race? This forum has changed. I am a relatively successful punter (though obviously there are many who will require proof - always hilarious) but I'm still mildly outraged (not particularly rattled, as one commented - it's only a game - not forced to play) by some of the shenanigans in the game. I'd like the sport to be more popular and I think it would be if there was less of this kind of thing. Just an opinion. Once again, for Kenbo, thanks for the professional diagnosis. My therapist will be jealous. :p

You need it

Cowboy
was hard to make a case for, well beaten in all his recent runs, but the last time he made the running he was third at Windsor in May, running to an RPR of 70, and it was another case of him being allowed the run of things here. He took advantage of a much lower mark.

AND a very in-form stable...2 from 2 yesterday!
