Try getting McKelvey on betfair mate - he's trading at 20+. I was personally a bit disappointed with his race yesterday - still doesnt look fit to me and only 3 weeks to go? I would like to see more proof that he's over his injury and yesterdays race didnt really do it for me.
Hope you had a good day  How's the head?  |
I'm fine, just a bit tired. Didn't drink at the races, drinking and gambling don't mix well. Had 2 winners (5-1 and 7-1) and 3 placed (20-1, 25-1, 25-1) from 7 races, hit a straight flush on the card tables at 3 card poker (5-1 paid for the ante, 35-1 paid for the pair plus) and finished 5th in the poker tourney so a good weekend.
I don't expect Dettori to make as many trips as other jockeys but felt if he finds himself with a realistic chance of being top jockey he might make the effort, the weekends away in Italy, Germany, France, Dubai etc also hit hard as he is away and others fire in 4 or 5 winners etc, just thought 100-1 was a big price. As for McKelvey, may take some work to get it fit but I'm more interested in it over jumps than hurdles and it had a similar preparation last year. Only horse I've had a proper look at for the national.
