A TOP trainer claimed to have absolutely ‘no clue’ about a huge gamble that saw his 14-1 horse win at 9-4.
Asked why Braganza Bay was slashed in the markets after a surge of cash, Henry Daly replied: “F*** knows, honestly.”
Winless in 11 and beaten nearly 200 lengths in the races he had finished, the five-year-old gelding looked a no-hoper.
But someone somewhere spotted something and thought a 3m1½f handicap hurdle at Hereford on Tuesday would be the making of him.
Bizarrely, Daly couldn’t see it himself, thinking the 12-1 odds he saw the night before were accurate.
