2.30 - Newcastle - Silenceofthewind

Backed it when I went to Ponte when it run first time up, heard it was a decent horse, but was given a really easy time of it in a far, far better race than this one today. A good bet at 7/2.

Ok but if he's in contention come Sunday can I have a clue to his identity????

I know who I think it is but will not expect you to jinx him yet.

Oldham off Scratch @ 10/11 looks a good bet tonight.

Think 2/1 York is the half time call but perhaps 20/1 the draw is value as its been a tight contest and there seems little between the sides.

At the moment, I'm still happy with my bet (let's see how I feel in 40 mins).

Shrewdies such as myself were on York at 6/5

Pretty disappointed to be honest.

I could just about forgive the officials missing a York player having his foot on the touchline in the build-up to the try which gave them the lead for the first time (and ultimately the victory) but the Oldham 'no try' by the video ref was a poor decision in the extreme.

Oh well. We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and have another go tomorrow.

You must have been sweating. The Oldham 'try' could very easily have been given.

I was. 50:50 I thought. Ball wasn't down though, always hovering, video ref got it spot on tbh.
