Hi Bloggers
No selections today (Thursday, 9 September) but here are the author Martin’s comments on yesterday’s selection:
Selection : Epic
Was fairly stable throughout the day (I managed to get most of my Lay at 3.9 – 4.0) but drifted in the 15 minutes near the off. Opened up as 11/4 on course favourite but drifted to 7/2 (Betfair SP 5.15).
Was always up with the pace but didn’t always look comfortable on the track as jockey was niggling at him from a long way out and he traded as high as 10.50 in running. Unfortunately an enterprising ride from K Fallon meant he bagged the rail off of Tattenham Corner and got first run on the slightly better ground, leaving his chief rival with nowhere to go. Went on to win by a comfortable 1 & 1/4 lengths. In fairness he may have won anyway but the great ride sealed it.
