Spears Tarquynn produced a brave performance to land the Pall Mall at Oxford. Claude Gardiner's dog was squeezed out at the start but showed plenty of determination to get back into things and he took up the lead on the run in to land connections the sponsors cash. He now goes for the Derby and is down to 66's from 100/1.

The first two home in the race were the top two on the speed figures so a good result there and the recommended spread bets made a nice 25 point profit.

The ante-post selections fared less well with Blink De Bookies going out in the semi's and Farloe Rio just missing out on the each way money in the final. To be fair Farloe Rio was a little unlucky in running and both dogs were speculative bets at 25/1, at those sorts of prices they can't all win!
