Doubt this thread will last long but anyways

I see this horse ran last night at Newton Abbott and won at 4/7 but obviously this does not tell the whole story.

The horse was originally down to be ridden in a ladies race by Ms. Annie Bowles, Gordon Elliott's fiancee. However, an unfortunate injury to Ms Bowles resulted in a change of jockey to Katie Walsh, who just happened to be in the vicinity of Newton Abbott, meant that the horse went off at 4/7 and won by 7 lengths

In fact, Betfair's own market movers shows the horse went from 4.5 to 1.95

Gordon actually had a small article about the jockey change on Betfair yesterday but it seems to have been pulled from the site

Part-owner of the horse, Marcus Reeder has previously been banned from the sport for a year for laying his own horse

Here's the Elliott article from yesterday that I mentioned above. To be fair to the man he states that Weatherbys told him not to declare the jockey change until the day of the race
