A MEMORABLE ACROSS THE CARDS TREBLE.
It was only 25 days ago at Sedgefield that we recorded a treble, and back at Sedgefield on Tuesday evening we had another two winners, with a further success up at Ayr, which adds up to a staggering 1394-1 accumulated odds!
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS 1/1 WINNER!!!!!!!
Not What It Seems was the first leg of the treble when backing up his improved effort at Sedgefield 25 days ago, when once again putting up a new personal best, this time under a 7lb penalty to win comfortably by nine and a half lengths. He may well try and win another novice hurdle under a double penalty before going novice chasing after a summer break.
PICKS LAD 40/1 WINNER!!!!!!!
15 minutes later at Ayr our new bumper recruit Picks Lad made a winning debut in what looks a slightly above bumper race for the time of year. Unusually for one of these events the field went a good pace with Picks Lad always front rank, and for this he can be marked up even further, as when looking beat a furlong out he bravely rallied to beat the Gordon Elliott trained Irish raider by half a length.
BALKOTIC 16/1 WINNER!!!!!!!
The 30 minutes treble was completed at 6.20.pm, at Sedegefield when Balkotic who was stepping up in trip made virtually all for a comfortable two and a half lengths success, from an all time low mark of 87. This was a fitting tribute to his owner Ray Parry who passed away recently, and would have been in his element celebrating in the winners enclosure.
