The 2025 King George VI Chase

They did look to be going a touch slow early on, but they wound it up from a long way out and obviously paced it perfectly. Some performance from The Jukebox Man, he's just so talented and there's still more to come from him. Cracking race.

The horse must have had some proper back form for you to back a Harry Redknapp horse, DO! Well done.

I can't stand HR and hate when his horses win (or even run) because you just know the TV people are going to be all over him.

The horse didn't have the form for me. The bet was because it had been well touted in a number of early-season articles and stable tours, with this race reportedly the aim. It was 16/1 the morning of its prep and I reckoned that would probably be halved if it won - which it was entirely entitled to do so - so I really just wanted it onside at that stage.

To be honest, I had just about written the bet off, merely clinging to the hope that its home reputation would be vindicated and even then I wasn't convinced it could actually go and beat them.

Better to be lucky than good, etc.

I haven't seen the sectionals but it looked to me like they started fast then eased back a fair bit but they seemed to be churning out 14s furlongs in the final mile. That struck me as quite fast and they did apparently break the track record.

It was a finish worthy of the Wokingham :p
