Keemon Get in! Yeah same mate, both the Sunday racing co Japanese horses who came in 2nd & 3rd ran a great race at big prices. Backers of Emily Upjohn will be fuming. Frankie seemed to have a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacko Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Well that was shite, never competitive. In all fairness entering Troy into a dirt race seems like a poor idea, very reminiscent of greyhound races where a fast start is imperative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I console myself in these situations is that it cost him a lot more than me in lost earnings like when I back a golfer and he blows up in the final round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
