    He has been smashed up in the betting which is not surprising given how poor the race looks.

    11/8 now.

    Makes all last day and wins, held up pretty much out the back of the pack and finishes with running left for 3rd. Bizarre stuff really

    Didn't see it but told he was obviously the best in the race. Unfortunate but it happens.

    To be fair to the jockey he broke slowly and was trapped in for a long way as a result. A shame as he was indeed the best in the race.

    Just Because wins at 6/1 on Monday - Berrahri wins again today. Stupidly didn't do it.

    Think it's safe to say that John Best has come good quite nicely. While I am up decent money, if I had just backed all his runners blind off a level stake, I would have made more money. Oh well. Think Best still has a few interesting horses left that have a good chance at winning (Stone Of Folca, Mossgo), so won't be giving up just yet.

    Ninety Minuntes runs tomorrow at Chelmsford City. Currently around the 3/1 mark. Looks to have re-found a bit of form. Big Chance you would feel.

    I noticed while having a an idle look on Oddschecker that Authorised Spirit was having its first run for a new stable, John Best's, in the 8.10 at Kempton. Was very tempted to have a nibble, but I didn't. It won at 25-1! Gah!

    Another one having it's first run for John Best, in the 8.10 at Kempton. Spooky (see previous post)
    Whitstable Pearl. 33-1. I put a small e/w on it for a bit of interest.

    Well done lads, I didn't follow :( It's mad though what a change of yard can do for a trainer. This lad could not buy a winner, but then moves into new digs with a lovely all weather gallops, solarium, hydrotherapy unit - and all of a sudden his horses are going great guns.

    I just realised I put it up as being at Kempton, should have been Chelmsford. Oops

    2 running for John Best today.
    Mulled Wine 3rd time out at Lingfield 2.25 interests me. I have little confidence in it to be honest, but I've won enough money off this thread to spunk an e/w on it, Kieren Fox on board, 40-1 (Paddy Power)

    Just a heads up for you lads, his horse has been well supported in this 345 at Linfield.

    SP was 4/1, think he was 6/1 when I spotted him first, backed him at 9/2 he flitted in between that and 4/1 up to the off

    Yeah, I had a look at 5-1. I was too busy setting cash on fire on Cheltenham at the time though!

    Sheikh The Reins out for the first time since August in the 8.45 at Kempton tomorrow. Was hoping for a bigger price, 8-1 PP, 9's 10's elsewhere.
    I'm finding this a very tricky race to pick one from though.
