Beaten by a good ride

One account bet for us today.

Brave Prospector, 3pt win @ 11/4 was an account bet for us last month when he didn't get a run throughout and is a winner waiting to happen.

He was well supported down to 9/4 favourite at the off and broke well to nail a spot on the rails.
After 2 furlongs he was trading at a very short even money on Betfair.

Just before the home turn, Silaah was kicked into a lead and went clear.
Brave Prospector put up a brave chase but the winner had shot clear under a very good ride and there was no catching him.
There could be an argument that our selection was caught out and should have stayed closer to the pace but sometimes you have to put your hands up and say we were beaten by a good ride.

Weather permitting we have a probable maximum bet over the weekend planned.
It could be either Saturday or Sunday at this stage but we have been waiting for this one for a while.

Fingers crossed the weather behaves itself and all goes to plan.
