Obviously I am in no position to tell Ruby Walsh what to do but to the untrained eye it looked like he had Sivota at the back of the field too long and wasn't keeping in close enough order with Buena Vista.

I agree minder. Think he left it too late and too much to do. Then again I also had money on sivota so of course I'm gonna think he made a balls of it.

[Erne Gael]

could someone please tell me how this lucky 15 works again.
I picked four horses today and had intended to do £1 each way but by mistake I done £1 to win.

The four I chose were
Beautiful Sound @13/2
Fiveforthree @ 11/1
Rubi Light @ 20/1
Mr Cracker @14/1

Beautiful Sound and Rubi Light were both placed 3rd. Had I had any money on them each way would I have won anything??

Left the horse with far too much to do in the last 2 furlongs IMO
