Donald McCain was in excellent form at Haydock.
"Another one for in-running punters was Reindeer Dippin who, after starting at [5.8], hit a high of [17.5]..."
Betting.Betfair columnist Donald McCain fired in a quartet of winners at Haydock on Saturday...
Readers of McCain's Saturday preview on betting.betfair.com were in for a real treat, as four of the six runners that he sent out at Haydock came back victorious.
Cinders and Ashes, currently trading at [12.0] for the Supreme Novices at Cheltenham (Timeform Chief Correspondent Jamie Lynch had previously tipped Cinder and Ashes in his Antepost Preview), got the day off to a winning start when running out a comfortable winner, returning at a Betfair SP of [1.7].
Next to hit the target was Our Mick, returning at a Betfair SP of [2.66] although in-running punters could have taken the [9.0] that was available during the race. The improving Our Mick was notching a hat-trick, having also won at Kempton and Catterick, and his 13 length margin of success demonstrates how easy today was.
Another one for in-running punters was Reindeer Dippin who, after starting at [5.8], hit a high of [17.5] before making steady headway to take the lead, eventually being eased close home but still beating Stow by six lengths.
The day was rounded off by Real Milan, highlighted as McCain's best chance of the day, and he again was not hard pushed to gain his own hat-trick by seven lengths, with his two previous wins coming at Hereford and Uttoxeter.
McCain will be hoping to continue this excellent run of form on Sunday, where he saddles three at Towcester and one at Market Rasen. Click here to read Donald's verdict on his Sunday runners.
