"He's a new horse that Anthony Bromley has bought and sent to me. The owners are Old Gold and Plumpton Members have the other half. He's a lovely horse and there are still some shares for sale if any readers are interested. He's been placed in a couple of bumpers in Ireland and now he'll be going novice hurdling. He's my dark horse. 01-12-25"
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
