    I note that Father V's favourite bookies were biggest last night at 8/1. But that soon went. Least we know where this weeks collection money has gone lol. And Skybet have been chopping its price all day long. I backed it twice with ladbrokes, 1/2 @ 6/1... The other 1/2 @ SP.

    Very interesting that Hayley Turner is booked to ride it tomorrow. The Optimist in me is saying that she wil ride it under a 7ib penalty after it wins with its head in its shoulders tonight. But reallistically it will prob be pulled out in the morning regardless.

    Came 2nd was at the back all the way and had a storming finish.  Definitely worth a look at again

    Well we should all have made a small amount of profit but he tries his best not to win and if a jockey could take him from point a to point b the shortest way we might have a winner soon . or will the ground dry out to much by then.

    Think storming is pushing it a bit wilco. made up ground late but dont think it was ever catching the winner think your spot on about the ground father also its probably going to be plenty short enough next time out.
    good luck those who are gonna keep following it but im not for me on the runs ive seen

    Badboy, yes the run after it won was the standout but bit disappointing since. Still think its a winner waiting to happen again on bottomless ground

    Yeah maybe storming was a bit strong lol but it was stuck at the back for ages and then got a run right at the end. Agreed though it was never catching the winner

    Oh and I had it win only as well :-(

    oh you silly people anything over 6-1 must be bet ew in a single especially with such a small field. Agree that with a big field and under 10's or with others in each way doubles and trebles you can afford to bet win only.

    For those who say "I dont like each way" remember you are backing the horse because you are pretty sure it is going to win. If you are not confident to have the place part of the bet as well then you shouldnt be backing the horse in the first place .

    Unlucky even so, I hate to see my flock not winning.

    Bless you all Father v

    Its probably going to go up maybe 2/3 pounds for finishing 2nd, its highest winning mark is 89 and that was 4 yrs ago, its now 9 yrs old. I think it might struggle to win again this year. Will come on here and eat my words if it does though Vaigret.

    hi tallboy
     
    I didnt say how long I would have to wait LOL if the trainer has anything about him he will run it a few times on unfavourable over the summer and that handicap rating will fall just right for september/October

    Having said that it will probably still be rock hard then , we have got to get a summer sometime .

    Well it's 10.53 am and it's still down to run, and the price is getting chopped again. Obviously there is still a good chance it will get pulled out, but why would connections have gone to the trouble of booking a high profile group 1 winning jockey if they didn't intend running the horse regardless of what happened last night?

    Backed to 9/2 now

    Will do well to win after last night second but this looks like the race aimed at as Hayley Turner booked and money on.
     
    Or is it all ours

    Good luck all
