WANDERERS boss Sam Allardyce gave his survival fighters a break from relegation stress at Pontefract races on Wednesday writes Chris Sudlow
And we suggested the following horses to put their money on.
The Bolter (2.50) is an obvious choice, while fans travelling down to Southampton know it will be a Long Weekend (3.25).
Spanish midfield ace Campo will be looking to Toro Bravo (4.0) for some booty, while Allardyce has already proved he is a master of the loan Strategy (4.35).
Let's hope fiery Scottish manager Gordon Strachan is a Good Loser (5.10) while if Jay Jay Okocha is spot on with a penalty opportunity there will never be a better Golden Chance (5.40) of Premiership survival.
So how did we do? Well, the day started badly with The Bolter named as a non-runner in the first race.
Other returns:
3.25 Long Weekend (unplaced)
4.0 Toro Bravo (unplaced)
4.35 Strategy (10-1 third)
5.10 Good Loser (unplaced, and probably still running)
5.40 Golden Chance (5-1, third)
I don't think I'll be giving up the day job just yet!
