Hi all, am knew to the forums so apologies if this is in the wrong section.
Bishopbriggs had absolutely no form at all going into yesterdays race at Lingfield (3.20pm), would of been easy to lay imo. Is it words from the stable which would interest people in this horse for it to be backed from 7/1 to 11/4 and absolutely hose up?
I fail to understand how it can be allowed or either not looked into by the BHA.
Thanks.

Hi David,
Our syndicate owns a horse that ran this week and was backed from 8/1 to 11/4. I don’t know where the money came from (not us) but if it had won easily you could well have started a similar thread about him. The conclusion that the connections had landed a coup would have been completely wrong.
I’m not saying that the connections hadn’t planned this for some time but a move from 7/1 to 11/4 probably doesn’t indicate a massive weight of money and it isn’t always connections that cause a price to contract in that way.

Hi Tuffers, thanks for that. Just made me wonder what it was really, you just never see a horse backed from example 8’s to 11/4 and then the horse rarely loses, so the 11/4 available seems like free money!!
