Well he sat at the back and lost, quite simple lol

 

Okay I have just watched the race. The horse didn't run on all that well, was never getting to the leaders. If you had no idea of the prices and watched that race you wouldn't be looking at that horse thinking it were the favourite at any point in that race. Perhaps some of that can credited to the jockey but only so much. Its obviously a decent enough horse, ran a good race in the Derby in fairness (never should have been favourite), won the Chester Vase impressively, you'd be expecting it to win races like that tonight, but it never really looked like it was in the race. Theres potentially a million and one different reasons as to why that is and we will never know for sure, but I am not sure the jockey is all that much to blame.

 

It is testament as to why favourite backing is a mugs game. If you're backing something at those odds you're probably thinking you're pretty much on a sure thing. Previous Derby favourite, top trainer, top jockey, bit of a weak race... but as we all know (hopefully) every horse is there to be beat if its not 100%, if conditions aren't perfect etc. Its why you rarely see these unbeaten horses ala Black Caviar, Frankel.

Anyone had a look today?

In the 3.30 at Pontefract "Perfection" seems to be the most popular - SDS on for O'Meara - whilst Tudhope is on "Last Empire". Is Tudhope retained by the owners of Last Empire? This happens a lot with him these days.

 

I will be having a small e/w punt on maygold in that race. First try in listed company so it’s a tough ask but the horse has been in my tracker a long while. It has won on soft ground before so just maybe a little sniff of place.

@Crunchienut  the hurling bet lost :feelsbadman:

Talking of hurling, my daughters team Cork lost their semi final yesterday ?  It will be the first time in I think 5 years that I wont be watching her in a final on the telly. She was on the bench yesterday though, the 'legend' of goalkeeping in ladies hurling is who she is being primed to take over from.

Hopefully just a blip and you will  have many finals in future to watch her play.   Being Cork Camogie  I have no doubt there will be good days for her ahead.

Being from Galway I cannot be too upset with yesterdays result though !
