I remember last year (Nov I think), I'd backed 'Blue Bunting' at over 10-1, cancelled at the last second...it went on to win

Earlier this year, 'Blue Bunting' was at over 16-1 I think, determined to back it big, I changed my mind at the last second and cancelled... it won again

Finally, in the Oaks, I backed it, but thought to myself..I definitely shouldn't back it this time.. was going to cancel,but let the bet ride... it lost :twisted:

Now 'Blue Bunting' is running in the Irish Oaks and I've backed it In-Play.... but should I cancel the bet this time, or let it ride? :lol:

I let it ride and got it this time baby :D It went out to an incredible 60.00 in In-Play, and Frankie Dettori delivered the goods like a dream. I got matched at 10.00 In-Play, and I noticed at least one other person had $500 at that price pre-race (10.00) ...hope someone else here got a peice of it.

The video is beautiful. I really smashed it. Home turn, last 200m,'Blue Bunting' is bottled up on the inside a mile off, looks to be struggling with no chance... out to 60.00, Frankie suddenly gets a gap and pulls to the outside.. it blasts home like a lightening bolt.

It went bigger than that, I got 75.0 and it was matched higher still, went over 100.0 I am pretty sure. Think it was around 120.0 that it topped out at.

Yeah, I've noticed that the TimeForm data listed is sometimes not totally accurate - it's only listed as a high of 60 on the timeform results. Still, great stuff, no way should it have gone that high, glad to see you got a match.
