''My Irish cousin is very well connected in Ireland and he's told me he's backing a horse called Magic Fountain (7-2) in the Limerick 2.50 today.
I also think Crownthorpe will go well in the 2.20 at Ripon...he's got a fabulous each-way chance, especially if more rain arrives, but he's only 5-1.''
Manshood drifts out to 7/1, but at the furlong pole comes up on the outside of the field and storms home, drawing away from the field to win by at least 3 lengths. :party:
Grrrr...Badenscloth was rearing and falling sideways just as the stalls opened, last away. Wouldn't have minded so much if it was taken to the outside, but no, as usual jocks always take them on the inside, and it had no chance of threading its way through the field from there. Would probably have got beat anyhow from the poor start.
