Is this let's all become armchair jockeys week???First it was Callow,now Beadman!I could be harsh too,as I had a substantial bet on Headturner.He was meeting Pendragon 2.5 kgs worse at the weights,but he only got beat a half head and IMO I think he is the better stayer of the 2 and was quite pleased that all the mugs were plonking Pendragon.As it turned out I did my dough,but by following this horse I know it wont be long before I get it all back,and then some.I think he will mature into a Cups horse next year.Again I take nothing away from the winner,thought Darren got out a bit late,but also think he had his chance but just couldn't accelerate quickly enough as the winner already had the momentum in its favour.
P.S.
When I said he only got beat a half head I was referring to its previous start when Pendragon beat him.That was the run that made me think all things being equal,Pendragon will never beat him again.
