Ohope Wins

[hesi]

And that it did, even after drifting out to 3 times its opening price, what do punters know lol

A bit of trainspotting.

The last 2 yearlings out of Choux Mania, a full brother called Torrey Pines and half sister called Stilleto Falls, sold for $700 each

Good to see Jockeys putting their horses into the race rather than sitting back riding quiet.  If the horse is good enough it has a better chance of winning than trying to run world class sectionals to make up lengths.

I don't think the jockey can take too much credit for Ohope Wins win, the horse did all the work

Perhaps we are over rating the oppositiom.  Ohope Wins only really ran one decent sectional.

If you read the Wexford Facebook site, they had a fairly high opinion of her, which the odds setters must have taken note of, as she opened at 2.80.

Unusual for such a large drift to take place on a promising Wexford horse.

The big tightener was Pulsatilla, but that came to nothing
