Before yesterdays racing at Newcastle I logged onto
Bet365 Mobile and backed McKelvey each way for the Grand National at 12's, that run will have put it spot on, was not too concerned if it won or not yesterday.
I have also had a few quid on Robert Winston at 25-1 for Top Flat Jockey 2008. We were discussing why the hell Frankie Dettori is 100-1 for top jockey. I know he doesn't go to many all weather tracks or Ponty on a cold Tuesday afternoon but 100-1 is massive. McEvoy is stable 2nd string and he is 50-1. I think Winston is a great jockey and he was unfortunate with injury a few years ago when going well, just depends if he has a stable to ride for or is going freelance.
Also backed Ibn Khaldun each way at 12-1 for the Derby. It won the Racing Post Trophy in fine style, Godolphin came all the way back from the Breeders Cup just to watch that horse at Doncaster and Authorized won the same race before going on to win last years Derby. It will probably start single figures for the Derby but I may also see what price it is for the 2000 Guineas, not sure what route they will send it.
