    My main bet was Broadway Buffalo and gutted to see him run out of 5th at the death. What a great win for a small yard though. I suppose it makes sense that the skybet should be a good trial for this.

    Was anything amiss with Sam Winner today? I read in the race report that he was under pressure by the fourth fence and that seems mighty early to be under the cosh. I thought he’d improved a lot since a poor effort in the race last year but he’s run another stinker and I think I’ll be giving him a very wide berth with such poor showings since his promising third in The Lexus.

    Lidl checkout operator Sam said:-

    “Paul Nicholls?, he couldn’t train ivy up a wall. Bottle of Bourbon and diet lemonade Mr Caution?”

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    I’m not sure what happened to Lie Forrit, but he didn’t ever look to be going that well, perhaps it was just a bit to firm for him, or perhaps just not his day.

    I don’t think Lie Forrit is at all comfortable jumping fences in the middle of a big field. He could never get near the front.

    He won in a field of 12 at Haydock but was able to race prominently on that occasion, and the fields of 29 that he’s raced in twice in this event are a different matter.

    Horrible woman the Parrott woman, I know her from years back. But fair play to the horse and jock,Wayward Prince was a worthy winner, he jumped economically and well,loved the top of the ground and stayed on well.The young jock gave him a peach of a ride,keeping him out of trouble,always up with the pace and he looked the winner from about four out.So well done to them.

    I don’t know the Parrott woman, so will just have to wonder why she’s horrible.

    I phoned her this afternoon and put your point to her, she replied:-

    “So that’s what edfiggyrock2 is saying is it? Well, Toucan play at that game”

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    I dont know if anything was up with Sam Winner but I should think he needs a few things to fall into place to give his true running. Ive often forgiven him as he needed knee surgery following injury after a fall which was thought to be career threatening. I did not think this would suit him although my own picks fared little better.

    You can rest easy Moe, Matt Kuchar finished 5th (on his own) e/w at 25/1, so your 31 p is safe :-)

    Well done moe, a wins a win, and I’m glad you stuck by him. Can’t believe he’s won twice this season at big odds, without a bean of mine on him.
