Commentators get the dangle wrong again. I should have had bigger balls again.

Far side holds on.

Well done! I watched the replay and would never have called that correctly from the initial passage over the finish line as shown live.

I’m enjoying all these posts, James.
Thanks. Thought it was about 60/40 in favour of the far side based on their freeze frame, and given the odds available it was worth a tickle.

Aye, it looked a completely different proposition on the replay, but not nailed on by any means so I think it’s a tidy bit of work committing money to it.

That said, I can’t believe the number of tracks where the camera at the finish is about 30 yards to one side of the line!

They are my favourites! :mrgreen:

Was disappointed to see that Newcastle have recently fixed their slo-mo camera position.

Kempton 18:00; had a few quid on the 2nd at 1000 after the winner charged the gate and led all the way. Have never seen the stewards pick up on this in the UK. In the US that would probably have been chucked.
