Looks like 1% of 46,000 euros = 460 euros prize money :))
Good result, that horse has a great future after this result and given it was a late foal racing against other 2 year olds. Also he prefers firm ground, i didnt expect any result when i saw the ground condition (above).

Shame i couldn't be there to see that race, would have been a great day but this consolation isnt too bad. He missed the break a tiny bit but ran really well after, he even was gaining on 2nd and 3rd finishers at the end, but was just not quite fast enough.

I do feel a bit like i've finished 5th in a big multi though, given the jumps in prize money its still a bit gutting LOL.

Anyway im unsure if there will be any more races lined up, i believe he will be sold sometime in the next couple of months, just have to wait and see.
