Watching some of the racing from Ayr on the round course today. It has been a trait that being close to the pace, on the decent ground is the best place to be. Yaaser ridden by Paul Mulrennan who was favourite 4.45 was ridden from way off the pace, he did well to be a close fourth at the line. I then watched the 5.15 and it baffles me how some jockeys do the same thing, as Mulrennan did the exact same in the early part of the race, sitting last under restraint !

I really rate Paul as a jockey, but I am not sure what was going through his brain from 4.45- 5.15, as he gave his mounts basically no chance of winning.

At Ripon tonight 8.15 Glam De Vega looks a penalty kick, i did back this horse at 6/4 last night, but with a withdrawal of Wilkins, a 25p deduction in the pound, if he manages to win.

More soon.
