Our racing correspondent Sir George Paddock’s boast of winning £26,000 on a £17.00 bet came to nothing. His lucky 15, plus a £1 each-way accumulator, returned a very modest £9.49, a loss of £7.51 overall. No doubt he will say “That’s racing for you”. Over to you, Sir George…
Sir George Paddock writes
Yes indeed, that’s racing for you! We chalked up 1 winner and two places, which is not bad going in these highly competitive fields. However the odds were very slender and the each way returns negligible. Our star turn, Daarvik, in the 1.15 had a bad hair day and came 19th out of 23 Runners. Stewards’ Enquiry! But that’s enough of that. You got some money back.
I will publish my selections for Wednesday at around 8 o clock tomorrow morning.
