Nick Shiambouros' Patented 80/20 Bet
80/20 
/ Nick Shiambouros / 31 July 2008 / 2 Comments Free £25 Bet
Today's 80/20 won't need wings to come in.
Today's 80/20 is Pegasus Lad in the 7pm at Sandown. This son of the great Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus simply had no chance behind one of the most impressive two year olds I have seen this year in The Cheka when finishing a distant second to him in mid July. Today's task appears easier and with normal improvement we should have a good chance of landing the 80/20 at a fair price.

They reckon that turf racing will return at Cheltenham tomorrow, so this jumps reporter is taking a last, lingering look (for now, at least) at the all-weather action today at Kempton....

Can small yard taste success with today's 80/20 selection?...

Nick - my view of today's 80:20 is surely in the first at Stratford - Right Option, solid form on the flat & will stay. We will collect on the place if he jumps & thats a risk I'd be willing to take with Scu on board.
The fav is the best horse in the race and produced a great run last time out, I just have a question whether he will show consistancy & reproduce that effort.
Good luck to all wherever you 80:20 goes.
Mine certainly won't be on the flat after last nights panorama!?!?!?!!

although i agree with Ant that Right Option has got 1/2 decent form on the flat, i think id rather have a watching brief on his first jumps appearance in public before i put my hard earned on him, i of course wish you well with that one Ant. In defence of Nicks 80/20 last night it was backed as though it couldnt lose, some real money went on it and yes the backers were burned, but if you saw the race it was almost tailed off after a the first 200yds by the time hed played catch up he was tired and the jockey didnt hurt him. Ignore him next time at your peril. as for tonights 80/20 Mark Johnstone has won the last 2 runnings of this event so why not the hat trick. as Ant has already said good luck to all Brian
