Heard word for Dippy Duck today at Sedgefield 2.50 Its around five to one now and defintely worth a look

Totally sick! Had him at 6/1. Jockey made a complete mess of it. He should have won easy. Apologies lads

Was that the race when the horse was leading by a country mile, then the jockey kept looking behind him to see where the rest where, thought he was far enough clear so stopped riding him & ended up getting beat?

Just watched the replay of that on attheraces.com. OMG that was bad, first of all, was he brought before the stewards?
Secondly, I don't buy into a lot of the corruption rumours to do with horse racing, but that looked very, very bad.
He looked like he was riding to lose the race!! That race needs to be looked at carefully by the authorities (IMHO)

Doesn't seem he was brought before the stewards no

AZOffaly · April 09, 2008, 11:51:45 AM

Stewards probably laid him on Betfair!

I know I am only a humble punter, but I find that amazing. I know it is a seller in sedgefield, so you can't really get a lower grand of race, but still, I thought it looked wild dodgy. What the rest of you think??

Got a tip from a friend - mr multifix running 2.50 at ayr

gerrykeegan · April 18, 2008, 03:03:52 PM

second

mr multifix was a tip for me the last time he was out when he won even though he didnt jump all that well. was in two minds today and ended up going for the sentimental sort of bet that he's won before for me so he#s sure to win again. wasnt too far away but still a costly mistake.

Friend of mine owns a share in a horse called Rowan River, goes today in the 3.45@Bev, expected to go close, currently 9/2.

We will have to wait and see, but if you had been following it (as I have) you wouldn't be up a big pile $:-\$
