We received a few comments this evening referring to the bad luck that Weapons Amnesty suffered in running today, and after revisiting the race a few times, I actually think we were very unlucky not to collect on at least the place part of the bet. I was happy with the way the horse travelled throughout, and it appeared to be travelling very nicely until it was badly hampered by the fall of On Raglan Road. I reckon it cost it anything from 3-6 lengths, including the momentum it lost, and Davy Russell had to roust it along for a bit to put it back into the race. Obviously this has expended some of the horses energy, and after coming back on the bridle and looming up 2 out, it has not had anything left to offer after the last. It eventually finished 5th, beaten about 5 lengths and you could say we've been a little unlucky!
As far as the result of the race goes, well I couldn't have had the 1st & 2nd at all as they were both stepping up considerably in grade and had plenty to find on the book, as well as needing to see out the trip. The fav has gone off very short and finished a whisker in front of the selection and Pride of Dulcote has finished well behind. The selection has been sent off a well backed 7/2 second favourite and I would be more than happy to have the same bet again, if they ran the race again tomorrow. A small loss on the account today but nothing to get too worried about and hopefully there will be a suitable opportunity tomorrow!
Mick has already touched on the fact that we have been receiving the odd comment which have not been complimentary, but at the end of the day if people aren't prepared to put a name to a post, we're not going to respond to it. I appreciate that this is a public blog and people are free to air their opinion, but at the end of the day nobody is telling you to back the selections, it's just an opportunity to see for yourself what Mick and I are backing. On the whole the feedback has been very positive and hopefully we can continue to keep you interested and pick a few winners.
