Bar The Bull, I think its more of a friendly debate between two former adversaries who have a healthy respect for each other these days, ay Grass?

I am trying to get my head around backing a horse for a race which the trainer has said he wont run in, for which you lose your stake if he is withdrawn, and for which if he was running he would be a clear favourite.

Good luck to Grass if he wins, and Egerton perfoms a volte face and the price plummets allowing Grass to trade out with a profit.

However I am a bit old fashioned and dont think Bookies give anything away lightly. Surely they know Egerton has already made up his mind?

I notice Cashmans have him in neither their Ryanair nor Sun Alliance books.
