Dunno what your moaning about Pirates, punters were told a couple of minutes before the off (on the tv) that the trainer had stated the horse would definitely need the run.
By that time of course it had almost halved in price. What a waste of money that didn't need to be wasted, if the info had been made available earlier and to all. But, of course, not all seem to agree there needs to be greater transparency so no worries :silly:
Tarry thinks TT in the 2nd is probably his best but he thinks the price may be a little short as a little "nervous" about a couple of others in the field.
