Default Sentimentality Has Just Cost Me £10,000

I regularly enter a Betway free comp with a prize of £10,000 which entails picking the winner of 4 preselected races. My selections were:

Today's were:

New'mkt 14. 40 Purser - Won at 6/4

Newbury 15.00 Communique - 7/1 (10/1 when I selected it)

New'mkt 15.15 Yafta - 3/1

AND the last race, where I selected the favourite Rhododendron at 3/1 THEN CHANGED MY STUPID MIND to Lancaster Bomber at 10/1 because that was the name of our Quiz team on TIBB.

The favourite won with Lancaster Bomber coming in 3rd. (Both trained by Aidan O'Brien.)

I would have won £10,000.

The worst thing is that I did not have a bet today so I hadn't even had a penny on.

Excuse me while I just defend myself against my wife who is hitting me and calling me 'Idiot'
