I would urge anyone having a bet on the opening race at Newcastle today to watch the entire rerun of Johnny Ringo's last race, 17 days ago over the same C/D, when finishing 4th after receiving a classic Mulrennan 'tender handle' tutorial involving being slow away, kept miles off the pace, running into trouble late on and two air shots while finishing fast. Johnny was 18/1 that day so no surprise the rostrum wasn't reached. But, today could be different. Let's hope Mulrennan's not again whispering 'Take It Easy' in Johnny's ear, but instead bellowing 'Go Johnny Go!' At 5/1 it could be an e/w bet to nothing! GL anyone following me in!
