Unhappy So Close

Backed General Conclusion at four bucks, ******** it (thanks Mav). 2 Starts back General Conclusion finishes 5 lengths 3rd Caprizzi Strip. Caprizzi needs a bog track and the rain came down on an already heavy track just b4 it's race, drew 1 in a race without any natural speed bar him and as weak a race as they come. I couldn't have enough on, my biggest go since Alinghi in the Newmarket and i got $4.20. Price got crunched, jumped well lead had it's own way in front, but then

JASON F#$*ING BENBOW

Why he went for home 600 out and took the horse 5 wide around the turn, he showed complete inability, and i (regretfully?), nah, told him. Beaten a neck to Clavillo a complete non winner, who Caprizzi beat by 4L 2 starts ago.

Got some back with Civil in adelaide (never in doubt, huge odds $17) but the damage was well and truly done.

Hope you all had better luck then i

Cheers ED
