FAO Alfie

I was thinking about an EW double today Alf, our old friends Benson and Christopher Wood are running in consecutive races at Musselburgh. Benson looks a sound ew bet, but what is Venetia playing at running Christopher in the Edinburgh National ?

She obviously knows a long distance chaser when she sees one, but she's only tried Christopher over 3 miles once and he was beaten 50 lengths, so he won't be carrying my money over 4 miles. Intriguing though that she's entered the horse at all.

Should have trusted Venetia to know what she was doing, 8/1 place double up if I'd kept the faith. Be interesting to see where she goes next with Christopher Wood, now she knows he stays 4 miles.

I left them both alone as well,Christopher Wood ran a good race and will be winning soon.

CW in my tracker now Alfie, significant amount of money for it as well, it was double figure odds the night before, but was backed into 13/2 before the race. Someone was expecting it to stay 4 miles and it did. I'm sure Venetia will have something in mind for it before the month's out.
