If you were on Across The Bay it still would not have won.
Given it recovered from being taken out, and managed not only to get back up to the pack from well adrift but overtook quite a few to finish 14th (and ahead of the wife's horse!), who knows what might have happened!

Bet365 paid out on 5th place so got a tenner back but was still out of pocket.

I agree we cannot be sure what would have happened if he had not been wiped out. However, it is very rare for a horse to lead for the whole of the second circuit and that winner saw the race out really well.

The Derby be are run on Saturday Foxy. :)

I can only suggest the favourite Australia this year but you won't get very rich backing it.

Yes the Oaks today. As this is for fillies it is always better to look but not invest money. :)

You did well to get 2-1 Foxy. (y) Australia was a lot shorter earlier in the week.
