d`ozy pay the man the grand ffs......now that you have stood the rat down do the right thing and pay the man you waster....

many thanks to all who have passed on comments..(even oz),I told the people who I wanted to tell that my horse would go close..and was ready yesterday..they know who they are...I had a few calls in the day worried about the drift..i can assure you myself and the trainer were amazed..as his form stood out in our opinion..and I told the people who rang to keep the faith..kavvie even said "has a leg fell off" lol..as I told the lads he done a bit of work Friday that the trainer was delighted with..i fancied him bigtime..as the lads knew...to go so close was hard to take..but jockey said he gave everything..and that's all you can ask...JUST FOR THE RECORD..ANY OWNER WHO LAYS HIS OWN HORSE SHOULD IMO BE BANNED FOR LIFE!..befair laying has imo done damage to racing..but we are were we are..im with a small yard...so maybe that was a reason for the size of the drift..also as has been said the pipe horse was backed all day..and the market made us the scape goat..tbf the race was not a great one...but we have something to look forward too next season over hurdles...in his grade....
