Another awful result for the punters.
I got 4/1 on Oldschool Outlaw w/o the fav on the exchange just before the off. Made a very bad mistake at the worst possible point (top of the hill) which potentially cost it the race.
Walsh has done me no favours this week at all.
These starts are an absolute shambles. It’s nowhere near as bad at Leopardstown or Punchestown as it is at Cheltenham and Aintree.
Why not just go back to the good old days. Let them come in faster and as long as they’re in a close pack, off we go.
Standing starts are a disgrace. A few are beaten the minute the tape goes up every time and it’s just not fair to connections.
