20:20 Vision
Horses priced at 20/1 played a large part in my betting fortunes on Saturday. Unfortunately, they were not always in my favour.
In the opener at Ripon (2.15) Marsh Pride (20/1) beat my selection Fast Dancer (13/2), who had held the lead for a large part of the race but was not in front when it mattered.
Then a few minutes later at Newmarket in the handicap for grey horses (2.20) my choice of Baby Strange (7/1) was out battled by Moonspring (20/1).
Both winners had me searching back through the racecard again to make sure they were actually there because I hadn't given either of them a second glance beforehand.
Moonspring also ripped up a lot of tickets in the Scoop 6, which went unclaimed for another week.
But later in the afternoon Confessional (20/1) helped salvage matters a little bit by claiming third place (and some each-way winnings) in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap (Ripon 3.30).
Go Far gives Lynch first winner
Go Far (12/1) gave jockey Fergal Lynch his first winner since being granted his licence again to ride in the UK.
Alan Bailey's four-year-old won the five furlong sprint at Doncaster on Saturday afternoon (4.50).
