Nope but hardly a radical effort in getting such a fancied horse home. Interesting article in the RP about this sort of thing today.

The point I was making is that the horse was very strongly fancied by connections and was expected to win very easily. That wasn't the case though and Fallon had to be at his best to bring home the money, he was the first one of the bridle some 5 or 6 furlongs from home and had to do the business to bring it home.

For that kind of ride I can't think of another jockey I would like to be in the saddle.

The price of the runner up has no relevance at all really, just because it was the 28/1 outsider doesn't mean it ran a bad race...in fact like I said it ran an absolute belter in making the favourite work so hard giving nearly a stone in weight away too. Don't forget the pair drew 8 lengths clear of the 3rd horse too.

Certainly one to keep an eye out for next time...although no good to someone like yourself who has no interest in flat racing obviously.

I went to Lingfield yesterday I'll have you know

Mexico vs Uruguay draw is 8/11

I can't imagine Mexico want to draw and play Argentina

I'm on Mexico at 3/1 myself. I imagine it will be pretty cagey but like you say, Mexico will want the win.

So bascially if you back both teams to win. Its around just over evens.

May be worth a couple of quid at evens, and then mess around with the in play market later if a goal is scored.

12/5 on 0-0, no thanks.

In this tournament I have had alot of luck in the draw, no bet market. Nothing spectacular, but abit more safer than just backing a team to winn. I.e Chile to win yesterday at the draw no bet was 8/15.
I may see how argentina set up, but 9/2 draw no bet, may be printing money, and if they do only draw, well I get my money back.

Some may not like bets at such low odds, but there is some easy money to be had.

Starting to come together a bit now. I thought I'd messed up big style at one point, but that's Uruguay in the bag and Spain looking a bit better, and the scorers handily placed. Shame Villa didn't put the penalty away.

Have since had two Accas go up the swanny thanks to Italy's draw with New Zealand though. Would be nice if results went well for the Serbs. Hoping for a Germany v Ghana draw which I think coupled with a Serbia win would sort me out.

Leaving the England game alone.

Got England and Argentina just over evens.

Argentina did the job, but England should be fun.

May have a dabble on the in play markets to guarantee I make a steady profit regardless.

Second highest ever paying placepot at Chepstow last night.

50k divvi.

Marodima 6/1 E/W Worcester 4.30

Reckon this could have a good chance

Went well over hurdles after this its OR went down trying the fences again now off 13lbs lower then its last chase run.

Only 7 runners so if its doing its usual front running style going to be very hard to peg back.
