Dead heat in tonights two horse race at Lingfield and six bob in the pound down if you’d backed the odds on favourite on Fred Dones Tote.
I’d have strolled round for the £481 prize money for third place!
I was there tonight and it was astonishing.
Most people were out in the sunshine (about 7,000 trackside I reckon tonight) and anticipating an uneventful race with SNOWBOARDER and Frankie prevailing (4/7) with AYAAR at 11/8.
Frankie jumped and set a strong pace but the horse was running green and I don’t think was enjoying the lightning quick ground. Harley, who had ridden the previous winner, tracked Frankie throughout and about a furlong and a half down, made his move.
Frankie was immediately pushing and riding the favourite and an upset looked on the cards as AYAAR came alongside and led but Frankie got a second wind out of SNOWBOARDER and the two were locaked together in the final 100 yards.
My first thought as they crossed the line was that AYAAR had got up but as we all waited for the verdict, I think a lot of people began to wonder if we were going to see something remarkable.
The two Tote payouts were £1.10 and 70p respectively.
