In the Coventry last night the 2nd place horse Eldrickjones came from barrier 2 - yes Berkshire Shadow came down the rail from 17 but not sure I am going to get sucked into the barrier draws to much.
Just on Eldrickjones he was previously placed in race at Thirsk and another runner in that Thirsk race (Mr Coalville) ran last night at Beverley so I backed it based on Eldrickjones finishing 2nd in the Coventry ... anyway the bloody thing jumped at 9-1 and was leading comfortably 2 furlongs out with other horses behind being ridden hard ...... next thing you know the jockey Adam McNamara just stops riding and starts standing up and the horse slows appreciably ....... I am like wtf?? ...... as it turns out he dislocated his shoulder and couldn't ride the horse out ....... incredibly the horse still runs 2nd but it should have won ....... thankfully I had it ew but just another luckless punting story.
I was pretty happy with Hollie in the last though
And in the Queen Anne the 3 placegetters where almost from the 3 outside gates. I’d be playing heavily towards outside draws until it’s proven it’s not the better ground.
