To be fair though, without that huge exacta i would probably be close to last. You don't realise that you are still losing on most races when you pick a winner, because of the ew bet and reverse forecast.

I got lucky with the exacta. I had backed Full House in the race last year when he was fourth, and i'm not sure if you heard the interview Michael Bell gave ATR the other week, but he was really keen on Juniper Girl if there was rain. There wasn't but i was going on the weather forecast. So there was a bit of luck with that i suppose. I picked out the first four in that race with my alternates as well, didn't i?

With one day left, NoChance is a distance clear and easing up approaching the line.. This contest is reminiscint of a Limestone Lad race. He's go miles clear at the start and the others simply wouldnt be able to catch him.. Anyway, good luck all tomorrow..

I keep losing hand over fist each day at the moment. Really glad Mahler won today, i was over the moon about him, not least because i had backed him also.

Will wait and see what the ground is like tomorrow before posting selections, but at the moment i'm all over Amadeus Wolf in the Golden Jubilee
