1.15 Chelmsford EJTYAH Purely speculative. This filly makes her debut but is by Frankel out of a Smart Strike mare. Jamie Spencer up for wealthy owners. The trainer is in good recent form. You will have to go to Bet365 for 11/1, which looks out of line at tonight's prices. I repeat, speculative bet.
5/2 this morning with skybet, 2nd favourite.Sad sight yesterday watching starchitecht go wrong when seemingly in a winning position. Just shows how hard this sport is on both the horses and the people involved.
Yes Dassett, but the favourite is out. Ejtyah is now 3/1 generally. If anyone went in with me at the 11/1 I calculate we are still sitting on a 7.7/1 bet and we have now eliminated the biggest danger. Starchitect was sad yesterday, but it shows the randomness of the danger that he shattered his hind leg on the flat. Condolences to all connections. On the more positive side, an absolutely magnificent race between My Tent Or Yours, The New One and Melon for the International Hurdle.
I tip my hat to you orsenkaht, look forward to more of your posts, and hopefully can offer some in return.
Cheers fellers. We maybe got lucky with the Gosden first string scratching, given the winning margin. The rule 4 made only a small dint if you got the early 11/1!
