Pendleton 5th.

Pretty impressive.

Had a decent enough Tuesday and Wednesday.

Initially was only going to do a £1 win Lucky 15 for the whole festival but as I got 2 winners from my first 2 runners I had a Lucky 15 Thursday and Friday. Dreadful.

Final leg of my initial Lucky 15 was Cue Card in the Gold Cup. Would have been £170 ish if it had won. Ah well.

A bit wet up there.

Was going to go for Silviniaco Conti but with the wet weather I don't think it has a chance. Not sure what to go with instead.

21. Goonyella (Jim Dreaper)

Rating out of 10: 6

Stamina will certainly not be a concern for a horse who would stay six miles if needed, but did not seem to take to the fences in December. More rain the better for his chance.

Rule the world timed that perfectly.

My tip "Purple Thunder" was nowhere to be seen.

**** race to be honest, I always end up feeling bad about having placed a bet.

Most posted thing on Facebook for the next week:
"I only backed it because I like Take That"

5 minutes before Ko I bet £5 ew on a 66/1 shot and it came in 3rd and for some reason odds were bumped up to 100/1.

Only chose it because the Mrs' granda died this year and he liked a punt. She told me to put it on anything to do with Northern Ireland or Robbie. I ended up punting for Vic's Canvas because her other grandad was called Vic and I sell canvas goods

£125

After-timing with a sob story!
