A poor day for the Irish today with just one winner bringing their total to a disappointing six victories. It is highly unlikely that they will achieve the required four victories for our winning totals bet tomorrow. Should have known better perhaps not to take on Paddy Power in this market!
So after the euphoria of the Jezki win on the opening day we go into the final day with Triolo D'Alene running for us in the Gold Cup probably as a bet to nothing. According to Tom Segal (Pricewise, Racing Post) this has become the wise-guy selection (see his article tomorrow). Not too concerned about that remark as the respected pundit has given 17 consecutive losers this week in the "Post" without troubling the payout window. Just shows you how difficult it is to find winners here.
I will not be having any further bets at the festival as nothing appeals tomorrow. We have 25/1 and 16/1 the wise-guy horse (now 12/1 best, but only 8/1 Ladbrokes) and if it finishes out of the frame it will be total stakes 34pts, total returns 34pts for the four days' entertainment. Obviously if it is placed or better still wins it will have been a profitable week.
Hope you enjoyed the ride if you were involved.
