Tricky looking race, and hot enough bets going around, so I’ve ditched by my bets on the earlier hurdle, and had a go in this as instead
El Jefe 40’s
Zeeband 9’sBrilliant stuff VtC, that’s you sorted for the week.
A good race but I think Pikar has had it
A bad day in that regard. Well done VTC.
An absolute shocker from the jockey on Go Dante. One of my favourite horses and he’d have won hard held today.
You could clearly see he was digging his heels in so have no idea why he didn’t turn him and walk in from the rear.
Well done VtC.
El Jefe has been improving all season, winning in the same style he did today picking off his field up the straight. I thought he might have too tough a task today but once again he produced the goods. Stable has had individual 7 runners this season and El Jefe has provided all 5 wins.
Winning jockey Ben Smith has caught the eye of a good few of us up here more than once during his short career. He talked well in an excellent post-race interview by Lydia Hislop on Racing TV. Must help that his father Mike Smith has experience in multiple equestrian disciplines.
Well done VTC, only just caught the highlights from today and I have to say this was the strangest race I think I’ve ever seen with what happened at the start and then El Jefe looking tailed off at one point and storming home.
I had a last minute bet on Al Jefe. Not sure if it was because it had gone blue on oddschecker or if I thought it was trained by Ann Hamilton (who I love) not Andrew*; it could have been both Either way I would have kicked myself if I hadn’t as I always throw a few pennies at VtC’s long priced selections and I didn’t spot that one. What a remarkable race and another one in which the commentator doesn’t pick up on the winner till the last minute.
*nothing against Andrew, it’s just that I’ve never heard of him!
