A great day for Turf Talk on Saturday as we told you that WIGMORE HALL was a BANKER bet at 11/2. OK so we only just won by a short head, but who cares, I was owed a bit of luck and Martin Lane gave us a perfect ride and helped us smash the bookies! And what about a couple of previous Turf Talk tips. The ridiculous abuse that I received after HILLVIEW BOY ran badly at Newcastle was unacceptable, especially as the horse clearly had something amiss. He proved me right by finishing 4th at a massive 50/1 on Saturday. Also another horse that I have tipped twice previously BLUE JACK won at Chester at a very tasty 10/1.
After I tipped him last time out I actually received an email telling me I was useless and didn’t have a clue what I was doing! Those kind of emails get swept under the carpet very quickly as I clearly know exactly what I am doing or I wouldn’t be so successful. Anyway I told you all that Blue Jack had the ability and I couldn’t tip him again after last time but am delighted that a few of you appeared to get involved. I certainly backed him and had an awesome day at the office.
In fact my only disappointment was SHERNANDO who was given a terrible ride and should have led, kicked on in the straight and outstayed them all. I expect to see him stepped up to 1 mile 4 furlongs next time out. Thanks for all your emails this week – before and after the Wigmore Hall victory!
