BBOTD - Sunday 13th of January

[robertob]

13.30 Wolverhampton: Spirit Of Gondree @ 7/1 Bet365 Spirit Of Gondree was travelling much the best turning for home here at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but experienced an absolute nightmare in the closing stages as he simply no room to go. His jockey tried desperately to find a gap and almost manoeuvred the horse like a bulldozer trough the field from 2f out. Finally half a furlong out he was in the clear and in a matter of strides he finished like a train to take easily the 3rd place just hands and heels ridden. There is no doubt that he was the best horse in the race which goes along with the fact that he is now very well handicapped again being allowed to race off 3lb below his last winning mark. The race tomorrow is a big field and he has a wide draw to overcome again but there is no doubt that Spirit Of Gondree is in fantastic shape and is a way too big price in my mind.

Re: BBOTD - Sunday 13th of January *Reposer > Wolverhampton 2:00 > WIN @ 9/1 Paddy Power BOG* Very interesting that this horse is coming over from Ireland to run in a Class 6 race at Wolverhampton. Normally, that means one thing. Big gamble. Form goes out the window for these types, as they are trained for 1 specific race for all connections to cash in, and hopefully it is this one. It is a course winner for John Best which is interesting, ran ok at Dundalk last time out when 6th of 13 and wasn't given a hard time.
