    2.40 Ludlow

    On The Off Chance 7/1


    Keeping this one short and despite the drift being a little disconcerting, I think On The Off Chance looks to have been let in on what I feel could be a rather lenient handicap mark of 105. A half sister to the talented pair of Cantlow and Darkness, On The Off Chance was sent off a warm order 6/4 favourite on her racecourse debut over hurdles when disappointing and her 2nd start wasn't much better but she was in the process of running a big race on her last start last month over an extended 2m3f when making a final flight tumble in what would of been some decent form up against the boys. The winner Abruzzi ran a fine race in a Novice Hurdle under a penalty when finishing 3rd which has earned him a rating of 126 whilst the 2nd Up To Something has finished 2nd behind Puffin Billy in a Grade 2 (no chance with the easy winner) and finishing well clear of the 3rd. On The Off Chance goes up against her own sex today which should be very beneficial as should be her first foray into handicap company stepped up in trip. This represents a weak event she is pitched into and based on her breeding you'd be disappointed if she wasn't good enough to run a big race off a mark of 105. Based on the first two races at Ludlow, it looks extremely testing conditions that will take some getting and lot of her half siblings stayed 3m or further which definitely looks a big plus. Richie McLernon takes the ride on what is his only mount of the day and this is the only horse that the in form Jonjo O'Neill send to Ludlow where he has a 21% strike rate with his hurdlers. If all goes to plan, I'm quietly confident that On The Off Chance will take a significant amount of beating today.

    Decent punt on Sausalito Sunrise at Ludlow

    The extra half mile should suit, his bumper form is credible & Hobbs gave him a favourable mention in his stable tour.

    Must admit I don't know much about the opposition. I've sat & watched the price disappear all morning so I'm not going to chase after it now

    Done on the line and by a blunder two out. Very unlucky!

    Anybody see the first race at Leicester earlier on, had a few quid on Special Robon but the jockey made a total balls of it and went around a fence that they were suppose to jump :eek::rolleyes:

    Just watched it, not quite sure how it lost

    Done at 1.01 (no idea for how much) which wasn't in any way a surprise. One of the lads backed it each way, follows on from having backed The New One at the weekend who was beat after being matched at 1.02

    Oh god that's unlucky.

    My worst was a 1.03 shot beaten I'd backed then the very next day my bet went 1.01 & was turned over

    Not long after I backed a horse who traded 1,000 in play & won however so hang on in there!
