Well done you! How much did you pick up? Just found the replay, some ride, definitely took the brave man’s route! Only watched it once but difficult to see what the protest was about, it was like the parting of the Red Sea up the rails!It only went and went and won it didn’t it !!!

Multiple protest - 2nd against 1st and 5th against 2nd. Both were for being impeded but the stewards considered any obstruction wasn’t enough to affect the result and they were both dismissed.Well done you! How much did you pick up?

Did you bet on him because you fancied him to win or because he's TB's horse?Multiple protest - 2nd against 1st and 5th against 2nd. Both were for being impeded but the stewards considered any obstruction wasn’t enough to affect the result and they were both dismissed.

Probably for Tony... he will have won a few million pounds today for instance.If it's the latter is it a generally winning strategy?
Definitely the latter.Did you bet on him because you fancied him to win or because he's TB's horse?

Yes of course you would imagine he as more idea of when to back his horse than the average punterProbably for Tony... he will have won a few million pounds today for instance.
A 22/1 winner is a big help, but significantly backing his horses at starting prices over years would lead to heavy losses. Not to be advised.

Interesting race - thought he was going to be 2nd last before a turbo charge up to 3rd on the line. Small profit at 10/1 e/w, so cheers.Silent Glance runs for Tony this evening (20:00 Kempton). Opened up at 7/1 this morning and now down to 9/2 (5/1 on exchanges).
It's an absolute steal as an each way bet if all 8 run.
