Fast Mover

David Copperfield would be proud of Shane Templeton’s amazing act to make the Market Movers disappear when they get beaten.

When they win we’re regaled with after-the-ball comments — "… another Market Mover," "It certainly pays to wait for the Market Movers," etc.

When beaten, however, the phrase "Market Mover" is never again mentioned. The horse in question becomes "the favourite" or "the one they backed" or otherwise appropriately disguised.

Magicians of the world, eat your hearts out.
