I know some of us are on Bolt at around 6/4 (1/4 now) for winning the 100M final.

But what do we reckon to the World Record going as well ?

He JOGGED to 9.92 today in his heat and must surely have at least the .2 in hand he would need to break the WR ?

Currently 2/5 with Lads but EVENS on Betfair!

Could aslo be worth a punt backing him to break Johnsons incredible 200M WR at 3/1 ?

Here are the vids for todays two runs if nobody seen him in action:

Probably better watched on the BBC to get a real idea of just how good he was!

Hi Len,

Yep i'm on the boltanator at 6/4. I thought it was a good price then but it looks extra special now.
I have also backed him to beat Johnsons record at 7/2 - i really think he can do that too but it will be hard after the 100.
He won in a HACK CANTER today, an absolute HACK CANTER and clocked 9.92...............oh sweet jesus it was magic. I must have looked at the replay 20 times already so i have had 20 changes of underwear today.
Whatever about breaking 9.5 i think he will break 9.6 in the final and i will back him to do so if the bet is there at a good price.
I flagged up bolt a fair while ago and he has done nothing but impress me since.

Go on BOLTYNESS!!!!

Get in the hole.

DD.

Is there anyway he could be one of those horses that folds under pressure?

I suppose we'll find out!

I wonder will the BBC bother to show the final "live". It is only the 100m olympic final after all.
