Anyone read the report in the post about Henry Cecils winner at Kempton yesterday? Opened at 11/1 instead of 11/2 and instead of saying they made a mistake they statted a phantom gamble and went 11/1, 8/1, 7/1, 6/1, 9/2, 4/1!

Oh dear!
 
Yes, read that in the paper on the way in today - hilarious, but for all the PR men's talk of being hit, you couldn't imagine they lost much if anything. Not sure why bookies are always keen to exaggerate their losses.
 
The big bookmakers all get an early show from the course which is taken from the boards so no excuse for them to lay 11/1.
