What about this one Xanadu,
Can't remember the race, it was at Ipswich, the heavily backed horse is allowed to boot three lengths ahead in the straight, with the favourite running second.
However, the favourite is going easily and the jockey sits on it without moving until 50m out.
Favourite storms home to run a length second.
It was so obvious, that even the jockey that ran third looked at the jockey on the favourite as they crossed the line, I was watching intently and thought to myself, what's this guy doing, his horse is bolting and he's not doing anything.
Watching almost every race live for the last week, one thing sticks out like the proverbial, when there's real money for a horse, get on.
By real money, I don't mean tote money, I mean course and bookie money.
No matter how short the odds, they are still value because of the phenomenal strike rate.
Today for example:
Shaan
Fortunate Choice
Speelberg
Miss Deevito
Xenial Ruler
Decerto
The list just goes on and on.
