Ireland land the Six Nations on a roller coaster day. We certainly didn't have the value. Ireland was available at odds over 8.0 during the Wales match. In fact Wales traded as low as 1.22 for the championship in-running. I never thought they would be contenders on Saturday so I was completely wrong there as they racked up 61 points in Rome.
It was nice to at least get a winner on the board after a frustrating Cheltenham. Seeing Wicklow Brave trot up @ 25/1 having been on the gamble at Sandown when he missed the break didn't help. The final nail in the coffin was Ireland coming up one short in the Prestbury Cup with 13 rather than 14 winners. Of course in the fantasy world I live in the missing Irish-trained winner was Champagne Fever (NR) in the QMCC!
Elsewhere my two selections, Juventus (28/1) and Athletico Madrid (16/1), are through to the last eight of the Champions' League. AM face RM and must have a chance as they have a reasonable record in the H2H. Juve have shortened in the market to 8/1 after their apparently good draw against outsiders Monaco.
Harry Kane's hat trick at WHL propelled him to the top of the Prem League scorer chart with 19 goals ahead of Costa (18) and Aguero (17). How the latter didn't score against 10-man W Brom I don't know. MC had 43 shots in the match! Costa could catch Kane at the top today of course but I'm hopeful of my 16/1 EW wager on Kane as he's now best price 6/4.
