Morning folks
An exceptionally, very rare bad Saturday, the first in a long time and I half expected it given the races (graded samll field chases) to go at but it is what it is and at least the losses were minimized thanks to Havaila (H’cap Hurdle) winning on Friday.
The least said the better, the one gripe, as per usual is Why oh Why do our jockey’s continually hold up our selectons detached last (could hold up mid div ??) It’s unreal that the jockey’s dont know how the races/results are going and how the tracks are riding. We were dead from the start giving decent horses many, many lengths start, in most races with gambled Twoshotsoftequila absolutely no chance from the off, and Punctuation (again very well backed) given a ridiculous ride which smacked, as I feared, of some bigger aim/long term target further down the line.
Our one prominent chaser fell at the first and my punting misery was compounded by another faller in Datsalrightgino (and I had one brought down at the last Uttoxeter!!).
One of those days and this sport tames lions as they say so wee move on quickly to next weeked where I shall be back, as per usual, throughout the day Friday for Saturday’s action.
