Pollard predictions
Via Oliver Kamm again, this amusing post from Stephen Pollard in which he says of the Derby:If you were told of an investment which would give you a 200% return in a matter of days, you'd invest as much as you could, wouldn't you?...But take it from me, Visindar is as near a certainty as exists in racing...2/1 against him is not too short - it is giving money away.
In the comments a man (presumably) called 'J' says:
I now have £100 riding on Visindar despite knowing absolutely bugger-all about horse-racing. You better be as right about this as you are about political things. - J
A bizarre position to hold, admittedly. Why would "J" want Pollard to be as right on this as he is on political things? That would mean he was utterly and abjectly wrong on it and J would lose all of his money.
Anyway, here's the result. Visindar came 5th. The left is apparently not the enemy, in all its guises. "J" must be over-the-moon.
