Wolverhampton An Option For Gold Shock 125-1 Southwell winner Tioga Gold could be seen in action again at Wolverhampton on Friday.Punters at the Nottinghamshire venue were left scratching their heads when the eight-year-old, last of 11 on his previous start, held on to deny Nayodabayo by three-quarters of a length in the Pontin's Holiday Handicap and give Malton trainer Lee James his first winner in just under six years.James, who leases boxes from Tim Fitzgerald at Norton Grange Stables, currently has four horses in his yard.His wife Carole said: 'He's a nice little horse and it's good to see him win.'He's in an amateur riders' race at Wolverhampton on Friday and we will see how he comes out of this before making any decisions.'The gelding, whose only other career success came at Southwell in December 2001 when trained by Brian Meehan, was matched at 1,000-1 on Betfair to the tune of £40.William Hill reported two of their clients to have been in the money after the win, with one punter having had a £5 win bet while another had a £5 each-way wager.'How do you find winners like that?' said spokesman David Hood.'I think the lady must be Mystic Meg, or at the very least she was given a crystal ball for Christmas! Good luck to them.'(C) PA Sport
