FTM have a couple of bets at Haydock - including going against the Budapest Bullet

"Matched at an early [2.84] the aptly named “Budapest Bullet” has drifted out to the [4.0] mark."

Today's Follow The Money comes from the cards at York and Haydock.


We start at Haydock with the lay of the day in the shape of Overdose in the 15:00. Matched at an early [2.84] the aptly named "Budapest Bullet" has drifted out to the [4.0] mark. A record of 15 wins from 16 races is difficult to crab but many of those contests in Europe were anything but competitive and Overdose will not have taken on as many sprinters of this quality before. If we also take into account the fact that he's prone to sweating up and that his owner has publicly stated that it will not be a disappointment if he does get beaten today as "he can always do better next time", Overdose looks the ideal candidate to take on today.

In the 15.40 at York, we have a big priced plunge to get stuck into in the shape of Secret Millionaire who has halved in price from [28.0] in to [13.0]. A meticulous placer of his horses, trainer Patrick Morris will know the time of day with a number of the fancied horses in this race following his seasonal debut over this course and distance. The selection has been dropped 1lb for that run which means that he is just a pound higher than his last winning mark of 87. The plunge this morning suggests that Secret Millionaire may be able to take advantage of what could just be a favourable weight today.

Our final mover comes back at Haydock, in the 16:40 in which Tariq Too has been supported from [9.0] in to [4.8]. With just seven career runs to date the colt is a novice compared to some of his competitors today (My Gacho for example has "been to the well" no less than 81 times) but the flip side is that he's more unexposed than most. A pleasing second last time at Ffos Las will have put him spot on for today's event and having already been placed at the course we have to hope that David Simcock's charge will go close today.
