Your support makes all the difference.BRAVE PUNTERS who decided to take the odds of 1-10 offered about the Francois Doumen-trained Jodi in the bumper at Lingfield yesterday suffered an expensive and painful reverse.
The French raider, partnered by the trainer's son Thierry, was the subject of two bets of pounds 100 to pounds 800 and one of pounds 100 to pounds 1,200.
However, after looking sure to win on the home turn, she failed to quicken in the final furlong and went down by three lengths to Generous Deal, who was giving the trainer Linda Stubbs her first winner under National Hunt rules.
Doumen was far from despondent over the defeat of his prohibitively-priced newcomer and observed: "It was lack of experience and the ground. It does not worry me too much. After all, the winner is by Generous."
