The 2026 Longshot Thread

[Desert Orchid]

In tomorrow's [brilliant] Grimthorpe, I've taken 25/1 Moroder.

The non-runners and the ground were bad enough but the jockey on Some Scope ruined the race for everyone backers of the eventual winner.

I'm not going to give up on Moroder. I reckon they'll find a decent enough Saturday race for it but it might struggle to get into the £100k ones without being a long way 'wrong'.

We'll see.

Sweet Sunshine. 25/1

One of only two distance winners in the field. Worth an e/w bet.

A close third, I see, Slim, beaten in a three-way photo. Unlucky but a great shout.

A shame. Was very hard to work out how he could end up 33/1.
