Powerstation 2.45 Thurles. Currently 3/1. Will probably be backed as the syndicate that own him are notorious for a good punt. He's head and shoulders above the rest of the field on his hurdling form, but just lacks a run. Still should run a big race.

He travelled well for a long way, but the very heavy going and the lack of a run for 11 months went against him. Trainer and Jockey said they were delighted and that he'll come on leaps and bounds for the run.

The four legged c**t....He cost me €100...

Yep...50 each way. If he held on to third I'd have got my money back. Irish racing is so bloody....corrupt !! The jockey never hit the horse once, or tried to cajole him. I suppose its good for the horse to get such a run, but boy is it good for the bookies too...
