Huge gamble landed

Two account bets since our last blog.
One poor, one very good!

Striker Torres, 3pt win @ 5/2 was fancied to lead all the way on a track he loves.
He had been running against some fairly decent horses for the grade and with an easy lead he was expected to be hard to catch.

Missing the break wasn't part of the plan!
He was rushed up to take the lead but was never really at ease and after three furlongs it was clear we were on a loser.
He was eased once headed inside the final furlong and finished 6th of 7 runners.
Our first poor run so far this month. One member likened the run to Fernando Torres performance on Sunday!

Much better stuff today with a massive gamble landed.

Jack's Revenge, 3pt win @ 4/1 was a proper George Baker lined up gamble.
The yard won this race last year when we had a 5pt win bet on another huge gamble landed by The Blue Dog.
Jack's Revenge had only been seen on the racecourse three times and shown absolutely nothing. That doesn't always matter though, as we know.

Going off a very heavily backed 5/4 favourite he was soon racing in the front rank.
Tony pushed him into the lead with half a mile to run and although we were given a few nervous moments when he didn't immediately pull away, he stayed on well enough under a strong ride to win by just over three lengths.

Few yards can pull off a gamble as well as George Baker's yard and our contact there has done us proud over the past few years.
Now they have moved to Whitsbury Manor Stables and the horses are starting to settle in there is a lot to look forward to from this yard over the next few months.
They have some decent horses this year and should make a real impact over the Spring and Summer.

There will probably be a bet tomorrow and it may well be sent out early again as there could be another gamble to look out for. We will know more in the morning.
