SANDRACER.COM - Hilversum Wins At 13/2 From 33/1

Hilversum Lands 33/1 - 13/2 Wolverhampton All Weather Mega-Gamble

Hilversum was backed down from 33/1 outsider at all prices down to 11/2 and back out to 13/2 (33/1, 25/1, 20/1, 16/1, 14/1, 12/1, 10/1, 9/1, 8/1, 15/2, 7/1, 13/2, 6/1, 11/2, 6/1, 13/2) at Dunstall Park AW, Wolverhampton in the 7.55 Betdirectpoker.com 50,000 Freeroll Selling Stakes today (1 Mile, 141 Yards).

The 5 year old Miss J A Camacho trained Hilversum won with 2006 champion apprentice jockey Stephen Donohoe on board by a neck from Raul Sahara (12/1) after taking up the lead from 2/1 fav Windy Prospect 2 furlongs out.

A nice touch landed by some punters in the know. To knock a horse's price down from 33's to 13/2, even in an evening meeting on the Wolverhampton all-weather, must take a good few quid in bets, unless someone has a big multiple riding at a betting shop somewhere. I am happy enough to call it a mega gamble landed. It's not often horses win after being backed at all odds from 33's down to 13/2.

Hilversum is booked to go again on Tuesday 1st May at Wolverhampton over 1m 1f.

In the 8.25 at Wolverhampton, Karmest was backed from 50/1 down to a lowest price of 11/2 (50/1 33/1 28/1 25/1 16/1 14/1 12/1 10/1 8/1 13/2 6/1 11/2 6/1 7/1), but ran unplaced behind Luca Cumani's Cosmodrome(8/1).
