Crystallize ......... a most welcome 9/1 winner courtesy of me !!!

Thursday 30th April and on a quiet afternoon the 4.30 Folkestone was proving to be a lively betting heat, this 7f handicap a class6 affair was proving popular with the shrewdies, first King of Defense was all the rage being backed as if defeat was out of the question from 6/4 into 8/11 and then more of a slow burner was the Andy Haynes trained Crystallize supported EW from 20/1 into 15/2, both of these got turned over and i was sitting on decent positions that counted for nought in the end. Crystallize though entered my notebook as Seb Sanders accepted the situation quickly as his run was blocked 3 times within the last couple of furlongs. I waited for some confirmation of support from the early prices before placing my bet, so i missed the 10/1 on offer early doors but 9/1 will do very nicely !!! I was expecting the price to be within the 7/2 - 9/2 region when i looked at the race on the train this morning, so i was puzzled by the prices on offer, i did begin to question my eyes and the merit of the Folkestone run. It is strange but if the price was lower i would have probably had more on eg £100 ew @ 4/1 but with the 9/1 available i invested £60 ew .............
