I'm happy Ravalo won though, I'd rather get beat by him than a has been.

Accredit took loads of late money to reach 4/1. With 10 mtp he was still 8/1.
At the time 8/1 looked like a huge overlay. This is a horse who needs the lead to win and I think thats even more important than him needing a wet track. Gold Trippi had every shot in the book, but at this distance he is nothing more than a plodder.

Agree about late money bur Accretdit is 5 for 5 on wet with one win over suspect horses on dry. Gold Trippi needed a mich faster pace. That 22+ was too slow for this class to set up his move. I admitted I was beat in there but I still like the winner. He's an honest racehorse.
