Christmas was extended for blog followers today as Santa delivered big time with a 33/1 winning nap.

The festive cards are often ripe for upsets, and we have seen some big names turned over this week already, and we were banking on an upset in the big handicap chase at Leopardstown for our Nap selection.

Roaring Bull is a horse we have been following for a while, convinced that he was overpriced for these big handicaps, and today proved to be the day.

Backed in to 16/1 by the off, he fortuitously avoided the worst of the trouble in an incident packed race, and stayed on well to get up in the shadow of the line accompanied by some throaty roars from Lapoftheodds HQ.

Stay tuned…
