The dreaded bounce...

One strong account bet for us today that was sent out last night as we expected it to be well backed.

Walkon, 4pt win @ 5/1 was an account bet for us a few weeks ago when running a great race and coming second at 12/1.
He was a bet last Saturday but the unfortunate incidents there saw to the abandonment of the meeting.
The six days in between and the rain was thought to be a further advantage and the main concern from connections was the possibility of the 'bounce factor'

Because of this and the fact there were just 15 runners prompted us to go win only.

As expected, he was very well backed down to 3/1 at the off.
As feared, he did appear to 'bounce'.

He never seemed to be travelling too well and you could call the fact he wouldn't win with almost a mile to run.

A disappointing run but there was always a chance of this.
However, if we continue to back 3/1 chances at 5/1 we will be fine in the long run, as our results show!

We were hoping for a maximum bet tomorrow but the race has cut up badly and it looks like the price won't be right.
However, we will know more in the morning.
