Finally after fifteen attempts he won the only classic race missing in his unbelievable palmares : the Derby.
Congratulations to the most winning jockey in action nowadays, he really deserved it!
Oh yes, Authorized is a hell of a good horse but that's just like discovering hot water..........

A part time racecourse bookie (it's not my main source of income), strangely there was little money for the derby winner, it drifted from evens and touched 11/8 at the racecourse.

Where are you from in Italy? And why is your English so good?
Just curious.
You already asked it to me, by the way my english is decent because I used to read a lot of english/americas magazines, I've been in England on vacation for just some weeks twelve years ago.

However 11/8 for Authorized was melt gold, on Betfair it was an honest 2.04 (a dirt even) when I bought some odds.
Originally posted by rhbYep, odds on Frankie weren't that remunerative, how much did it pay Aqaleem's place?

It was surprising that the off course firms were happy to bet Evs on Authorised and 9/1 the next best in a race paying 1/4 a place....Did they think Authorised was sure of at least a place or was there nothing to choose between the rest of the field..........It will be interesting to see how the beaten horses fair in the future
