well today had it all, we had heated arguements at the stalls, we had three plunges 1 successful two not, well in the 3rd the trainer back his horse e/w at 5/1, $5000/1000 e/w (no10), in the run when they settled he took off & went to the lead & was run down by 3 others in the straight to end up 4th, & in the stand the trainers son was going off to his father & was in his ear complaining about the drive etc on the trip back to the stalls, i was helping chris laird with his horse which was about 8-10 horses from this horse when they (dad & son more so the son)opened up to david harding in at least a 5 minute verbal abuse & as it got really heated, other trainers, one steward & on lookers tried calming the situation down which they eventually did.
i for one did not think that horse could win but when it got to the front i then thought it could, i think the drive was good but the horse not good enough
so that plunge came unstuck as did the plunge in race 8, no2 was backed from 13/1 into 4/1 (it is & went like a cat) so dammarell got the cash twice, but inbetween those two we had race 7.
in race 7 the first starter who i found out about at the track thanks to the owner ben mc it opened up with dammarell at $2.20 i had my $400 on it & ben had his $1500 on it at the same price which shortened to $1.70 when sam had $2,000 on it in a nod bet it went to $1.40, dammarell did use his phone & backed it somewhere but i cant see how he layed it off though to cover his losses
i hope all did well on the punt
