    Jamie Spencer gets the chance to prove Dante's suggestion, that the horse would have won last time with Jamie up, right at Haydock this afternoon.

    Ten furlongs on soft ground should be ideal, he still runs off the mark of 82, he goes up 4lbs. in future races for the second at Ayr.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    Fingers crossed he rewards your faith and you recoup your losses today Colin, we know the jockeys up for it, lets hope the horse is too

    He could win on the bit Colin but I always have a nagging doubt with only 8 days between races, would be a lot happier with 3 or 4 weeks

    You are probably right, but it is getting late in the season and with that 4lbs. increase due their hand is somewhat forced.

    All a bit easy wasn't it, I don't think the others were trying! h34r:

    Pass my thanks on to Jamie, Dante. :luv:

    Do you think he'll fancy riding the horse over the sticks, seem, he's going hurdling this winter?!

    I'm afraid I haven't been paying much attention to the racing lately (I've been under the weather) so I missed Best Prospect yesterday.

    He hasn't been running very well lately but I see he had been dropped to a winning mark.

    Well done, Jamie, and thank you for pointing it out Dante.
