Rotten EW Thread

I would hazard a guess that 10 losing favourites in a row happens more often than you imagine. You'd need balls of steel. Plus you would never get the bets on. If you did manage to and if got to 11 or 12 and you then couldn't get the next one on, your life would be over.

It probably does, I just thought it would be an interesting exercise to check.

Now why didn't I think of that :confused::confused: :lol:

Sorted now - the double is on. Hopefully it will go some way to compensating for Party Rock / Cocktails At Dawn...

Ivan Grozny is too short turned out 7 days after a graded hurdle despite being well in, and Clondaw Warrior has flattered to deceive too many times and won a race that I suspect won't work out well. He's gone up for that, and the pair are making the market value behind if you think they're over bet.

Watch them finish 1-2 now!
 
Can't say JC wasn't trying but I really thought wherever Ch'tibello finished JC would be in front of him. Maybe he did too much up with the pace despite what Skelton said. Hope EC1 was on the winner but anyone who backed the runner-up can feel very unlucky.
 
Well I was half right!

I thought JC was going to hold on for a place, but the first and second were two seriously well handicapped horses.
 
Well done EC.

It looked like a weird race. Fast for the first half mile, slow for a mile, and then fast for the last half mile. Those behind the pace were allowed to run a pretty even pace before they got racing, whereas the first four looked as though they set it up nicely for everything else and gave themselves no chance. If they go off like that they've got to see it through and hope they can get everything else off the bridle.
 
Ayr 4.10

Royale Knight is 20/1 e/w on the show but 3/1 to lay in the 5 place market. An excellent e/w bet.
 
I was told this morning that Jim Goldie's in the bumper at Ayr will be backed.

I don't know a lot about the source but the last time he told me about one from these connections it won but it was a short-priced favourite. This is a 25/1 shot.

I was going to let it go cos it isn't my kind of race but I'm flush so have indulged myself.
