Last Friday, the 7th December, we had:
TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)
1.30 Exeter Shaking Hands 1pt 6/1 generally 13/2 Hills/Bet365/PP/Boyles
Shaking Hands went off a nicely backed 11/2 but we knew we were in trouble the moment the commentator revealed ten seconds before the off that the tongue-tie he was meant to be using wasn't in position. Apparently they couldn't get it on the horse. He went on to run well for much of the 4 mile contest before downing tools and ending up pulling up, pretty frustrating.
On Saturday we had:
TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)
1.15 Wetherby Amore Mio 1pt 11/2 generally 6/1 Coral/SportingBet
3.20 Aintree Blackstaff 1pt 10/1 generally 12/1 Totesport/Betfred 14/1 Hills/Bet365
Amore Mio started at 4/1 and stayed on to finish third, while Blackstaff was also nicely supported, going off at 9/1 but made mistakes and fell at the 9th.
And that was it until today when we had:
TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)
1.50 Taunton Rajdhani Express 1pt 4/1 PP/Coral/Boyles/SportingBet/
Rajdhani Express started at 4/1 and was still going beautifully when he moved into a share of the lead, trading at shorter than 1/2 in running. Unfortunately he fell three out, leaving Changing Times with a straight forward win. It was no guarantee that Nicky Henderson's 5yo would have won had he stayed on his feet but he would certainly have had a massive chance, possibly one that got away.

Shaking Hands, PU/10, 13/2 --- 11/2
