3.05 auspicous outlook - l*8brokes a disgrace..

I was out this morning and wasn't aware what price this horse was on betfair. I treid to have 500 at 3/1 with l**brokes in a shop where I have never been before and I was offered 150quid...now I have no problem playing the game and know that knockbacks are part and parcel of it but I've come home to see the horse is bigger than 5/1 here and that L**brokes had already shortened Gormanstown Cuckoo..

These firms a) claim they laid this that and the other at Ascot and b) say they are worried about the fall in horse racing turnover. Is it any surprise???
