Barrier draws, references to ‘down the stretch’ and decimal odds. There’s a strange new world of International racing lingo out there for most UK and Irish punters to get a handle on.
It’s not easy, but one lucky punter in Greater London seems to have made the transition to US Racing just fine after a near 120/1 back-to-back double clicked at Gulfstream Park in sunny Florida.
First out of the gate was Swiss Skydiver at 91/10 in the Grade 2 Fillies Mile race on the dirt track at Hallandale Beach at 8.49 on Saturday night.
The Paco Lopez-ridden winner landed the £86k prize in good style at 91/10, to set our pal up for a tasty back-to-back double, IF Bemma’s Boy could do the business in the very next race on the turf track.
It went right to the wire Bemma’s Boy held on by a neck and a head from Zulu Alpha and Current in a driving finish to the line to capture the £89k first prize. More importantly, it landed our lucky London punter more than £2k in readies for his Saturday night adventure.
Congratulations chap! It has been a while but your place in our social distancing compliant International Punting Hall of Fame is ready and waiting.
