My Gift to You - 5.30 Southwell

I'll twist with the 4 hoss.

New Trainer - only had a Licence less than a year - and 30% Strike Rate this season.

Only had the horse for a Month - not run for him, yet ...

Bought for £8000 - Previous Owners took a £26,000 LOSS on the horse, when sold in June at Ascot Sales... having had, and paid for it's keep, for 2 years.

Would I Back it? - Not a 3/1 ... You are just guessing' that it has been 'messed about with' - although I would not readily put the previous Owners in such a bracket.

Would I Lay it - Of course Not -  You never know - in such a Low(est)- Grade Handicap Hurdle.
--------------

An interesting aside in the race ...

Will be to see how - BENSINI - runs -

That horse itself having been the subject of, a similar, 'where did that run come from' gamble - when winning the infamous 'Dylan Kitts NON-Trier' race at Worcester, recently... and raised 3lbs.

All in all - Potentially fascinating stuff - on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.

You are just guessing' that it has been 'messed about with'

Indeed, though they clearly think it's previous runs were meaningless, and it's been 'delivered' to perform today.

Trainer has done well this season, but will need a minor miracle to get this home in front; form looks like a dog with fleas. Lay all day...

Still being backed.

First time new stable,who are doing well,Clean Getaway an interest

Coconut Twist now favourite

Coconut Twist 3.9, My Gift To You 4.1

Crushed them !

Minor improvement then...

won like a good thing. they knew!!

Absolutely scooted up.

Toad that was my gift, to you. enjoy

The previous runs were...'interesting' then.

very interesting thread. thanks for highlighting stu

When THEY KNOW, THEY KNOW. While we're always guessing&gambling,, THEY're only gambling. And even then, it's like 2/1 minimum for red or black on Roulette Wheel..

Credit where credit is due, a good spot. Makes no sense to me, runs like a drain in five races, getting absolutely slaughtered and connections sell for a huge loss. New connections improve it out of all recognition in three months to hose up.  What on earth was Paul Webber doing with it?

Not a good advert for Paul Webber (or racing).
