A flying result for the Emerald Isle in the opening William Hill Supreme saw pockets swell for the bookies when 12/1 chance Go Native prevailed but smiles were quickly turned upside down as the well-supported Forpadydeplasterer, Witchita Lineman, and Garde Champetre scored for punters. William Hill describe strong trading for the Festival despite credit crunch worries with early signs indicating that 2009 turnover was on a par with the previous year. David Hood, director of racing for William Hill, said: "After a phenomenal start in the William Hill Supreme, all was well with the world. But as the bible quotes 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away' and the punters soon fought back with plenty of well-backed winners." |
