I also like Financial Outcome. He should stay forever and would have gone close in his last race at Uttoxeter.
Newcastle meeting abandoned
A bit gutted as I really fancied Glittering Love and having backed it at 18s and 16s
and it’s half that price now I thought I was well in. I’ll wait to see what
they do with the meeting and if it is rearranged with bets standing.Darn it; I was going to back Glittering Love, too. Was going to put the bet on in the early hours of this morning but thought I’d wait till later as they weren’t doing best odds guaranteed. I had backed Fortified Love. Was so looking forward to the race.
Yeah, real shame Moe.
I’ll archive the thread later, but I’ll bump it back if any sign of rescheduling, which I can’t really see.
It might not be popular to say so but I am glad it is off. Long distance chases on heavy ground are not a very appealing spectacle. Exhausted horses almost walking over the line is not good publicity for racing.
Cork if you owned a horse who is basically slow needs a severe stamina test and can only run on testing ground you may want to give him an entry
I would not buy that type of horse. I am not a fan of marathon chases at the best ot times and those sort of chases on heavy ground give the anti-racing animal rights brigade more ammunition than they could ever dream about.
I really admire the staying mudlarks but tend to agree with you Cas. Having said that sometimes the Eider is OK as it’s the slow bog gallopers that go for it. Bristol de Mai’s wide margin Betfair was worse with grade 1 winners behind him on their hands and knees; and the GN trial 2 years ago at the same track worse still….the commentator thought Blaklion (who crawled over the last and never won anything thereafter) was the only finisher apart from the winner and hadn’t even spotted Mysteree in the distance.
