Newmarket Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Had one bet tonite at Sportsbet, bonus bet back, $50 win. Thought only a cabbage drive would get it beat, real confident 400m out, was bolting, driver only had to follow wider horses, wins easily. Sadly, Ben Butchered the drive, went inside, held up, flew. One to watch, no doubt will have a better driver next start, odds will be short, but get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seems to be trying,and makes the right moves 9 out of ten times. Just you were a bit unfortunate newmarket that the horse you were on missed the win. I thought that race was interesting in that s. abernethy drove fleeting grin hard to hold the lead off the second favorite over the first 800m. Its been driven as a sit sprinter for the last 8 years,130 starts,so that was the poor drive in that race i thought. Abernethy then came out in the next race and drove the winner.

Yeah, i thought they would go fast up front, one reason i backed ruby mach. Yep, money speaking, but luckily get $50 bonus bet, so will see what happens. Its a hard game to pick a winner nowadays, and when you do, clearly your picking is correct, only to be unstuck by a cock drive. Just watched it again, still cant understand the drive, it was absolutely bolting, any driver with any clues, would know it was going that well, why take chances and get held up? Would totally understand if horse was plodding, that would have been right choice. I see ben butchered drove a winner on the night, but he also drove an earlier fav drawn one, out in front most of way, weakened 100m out. Not sure why he had to go hard in front, strange, wins with a common sense drive, and no, not my money speaking here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
