The Long Shot Thread

[Desert Orchid]

It's not exactly a novel idea since I started it on another forum some years back but this thread is for something you feel has a strong chance but is priced at 20/1 or more at oddschecker, not counting the exchanges. No need to specify each-way.

The nature of the beast is that it's long, long odds-on that the horse will lose but very satisfying when it wins or even just outruns its price to justify the selection.

I'll start with two for today.

Beyond Conceit (22/1)
Mixboy (25/1)

 

[dazzies]

Powersbomb 28/1 5.30

 

[TheBear]

Arbre De Vie 20/1 (just)
Ch'tibello 28/1

 

[tiggers1972]

Vic De Touzaine
Pingshou

 

[Fast Eddie]

Coologue 50/1
Cyrus Darius 40/1
What a Moment 100/1

1650 tomorrow, I like Divin Bere at 6s but as an outsider I am going each way on Dino Velvet. Has some decent form in the bank and can see it out runninv the odds.
