Selection Big Meadow (8/1) never had any chance to become detached from the field in drying conditions as he became detached from his rider at the very first obstacle.<br /><br />Plenty of money for Run To Milan who was sent off 9/4 favourite but Achille (6/1) was sent to the front after the second flight and never saw another opponent, beating Le Boizelo (7/2) five lengths with the favourite a further 16 lengths adrift in third.<br /><br />Readers may or may not wish to know that some members of the familial party attending the Exeter races actually bet the winner at odds of 7/1 on the back of the write-up I'd provided; with all the other selections failing miserably (list above), I would just like to put on record my personal thanks to Venetia Williams - Achille proved to be the Get Out Of Jail Free card I required. <br /><br />Happy new year!

However he awakes this morning as an 11yo, probably needs an even greater test of stamina and the change in going [GS,S from S,GS] is probably not a plus.<br /><br />RTG Horse<br />154 COURT FRONTIER(IRE)<br />147 BLAMEITALONMYROOTS(IRE)<br />146 MAJOR HINDRANCE(IRE)<br />146 WIZARDS BRIDGE(GB)<br />145 ACHILLE(FR)<br />144 RUN TO MILAN(IRE)<br />145 LE BOIZELO(FR)<br />145 BIG MEADOW(IRE)<br />145 MUSTMEETALADY(IRE)<br />144 THE BAY BIRCH(IRE)<br />142 DUKE DES CHAMPS(IRE)<br /><br />Best of luck with your efforts to ‘mark the card’ at Exeter!<br /><br />TWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
