Not sure it looked much like a machine Tottenham by the sounds of it, certainly needs work coming out the garage... as seemingly do many of these supposedly well-fancied first timers. If I was a moaning old sceptic I'd be suspicious as to how so many of them have these problems at the start, surely too frequent to be all down to coincidence and sheer bad luck. The 20/1 winner from the same yard the other day didn't have those issues, in fact it came out like a bullet and won easily, it is a little strange how the two horses started as such different prices. Not that I am saying anything about this particular stable. Just can't quite get my head round it all. Not money talk, didn't back it, just "odd" to me.
