5.15 Charity race

The fav BALLY LONGFORD looks worth taking on - weak in the betting and nothing in hand on bare ratings so shouldn't be so short. Going for these 3...

GIFTED LEADER (Vicky Laing) 20.0
CHURCH FIELD (Tom O'Neill) 9.4
TWELVE STRINGS (Rishi Persad) 15.0

Fav getting smashed in now...

There's been something of a plunge for Engai. 16 to as short as 5s with coral.

I have ENGAI as a non-stayer, ODM

I don't think they'll be going much of a gallop mate - half the fuckers will be concentrating on staying on the things

Fuck, Vicky Laing thinks this is a 5f sprint!

Ha, she is a GENIUS!!!!!!!

Whereas Tom ONeil is a prize cunt. Great idea to be sitting with a double handfull and then wait until there is ten yards to go before shaking it up.

What a twat

Well done Seen

Yeah, it was like watching one of those Irish races where 90% of the field are non-jiggers

That was a bizarre price for the winner though, was the 2nd-top rated hurdler in the field (just 3lbs behind the fav) and a guaranteed stayer. I thought 10/1 early show was a decent price, luckily I waited for Betfair to settle.
