viking's winning hand has seven selections which contracted significantly in price:
Beltor 16/1 to 8/1, Holywell 14s to 10s, L'Ami Serge 12/1 to 4/1, Outlander 9/1 to 6/1, Peace And Co 8/1 to 6/4, Very Wood 10/1 to 6/1, Vibrato Valtato at 20/1 and 8/1, now 9/2.
Only one bet went the other way, Ballycasey drifting from 12/1 to 25/1.
Impressive stuff, congratulations, viking, your prize is well deserved.
The rest of us can console ourselves that the main prize will be determined by performances on the track rather than by the betting markets.
