Had a good win today when if I had been at the races I would have torn up my ticket just after the jump.

I backed the early favourite Mount Nebo and at the time I was glad it blew a bit in the betting. It was because of a plunge on Windswept backed from around 7s into around 5/2 favourite.

Bad legged horse resuming after 12 months off from a serious injury. Loads of money for it but for me it was a huge risk...and it ran a shocker. All it did was give a better price for the other favoured horses.

Mount Nebo must race on the pace...hmm However he missed the kick by a couple of lengths. Immediately I thought it was a bad decision, and would have sold my ticker for half a schooner. Great ride by the kid, who didn't panic and just stayed in touch and it finished like a real tough horse. Maybe he'll be an even better horse ridden back!
