Was watching the odds on Betfair whilst I was out for a walk. It went out to 400-1 in play. Did it nearly stack it on a couple of fences, Grant?

    Had I been watching it and if it didn’t look as bad as the horse literally stacking it I would definitely have been tempted to stick something on it. I assumed it was being pulled up. Couldn’t believe my eyes seeing it coming into evens a few minutes later.

    Vanillier was a beauty - I’ve had 6 other horses place today too. Up £300 for the week with the rest of the day covered

    Had £25 on Minella Indo at 10-1 and the wife had £20 on too. Up about £500 so far.

    It Came To Pass in the next. I won £2,500 on it last year got it at 330-1 for £3 and 250-1 for £6

    I’ve only had a couple of horses not place today - it’s been great!
