Only a few seconds..
Amazing how a few seconds can make such a difference.
Ahead of the Eon chase we were speculating in the office at how short a price Denman was. In fact it was more like moaning, because we knew it would make getting anything out of the race pretty difficult. Our conclusion was that the incredibly skinny odds of 1.17 or thereabouts really represented the fact that Denman was going to win easy, except if he fell. We watched the race and witnessed Denman just trotting around the Newbury circuit with ease. We still continued our discussions as the race was underway. At which point I piped up and said, “I’m going to lay him”. I already had a reasonable, though not spectacular, profit on the race and just fancied my chances. No sooner had I said that than he stumbled, I never got filled at 1.05. Then he clattered into the next and it was all over. A few seconds early and I could have possibly had my biggest ever single daily total! Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing.
I switched quickly to the gold cup market but it seems many others had already and his price had already drifted enough.
