Sensible.

Not sure if any of you have a position on French Aseel for the Triumph, but going by the machine he won't be on the boat so worth exploring any cash out opportunities of not NRNB.

I think they've got the GE punishment about right thinking about it. I'm still massively disappointed of course but he deserves a second chance all in all, i mean if i was lucky enough to own horses i wouldn't send them to him now but he's got several big owners that will still support him if he makes a comeback i feel. I feel really sorry for the staff who have seen horses they look after every day taken away this week

Nando, you're in some position with Happygolucky and Houx Gris. Both backed in to 6/1 in their races from when you put them up. I'm probably going to back something against them on the day with those prices gone but got to say i hope they come in for you. Cracking antepost selections on market moves.

Giggi not sending Run Wild Fred to the Kim Muir is brutal.

Long term Martin Pipe fav Wide Receiver also out.

 

[Nando]

The machine would tell you that Energumene won't be on the boat either...

And there you go - ruled out as I posted.

 

[Nando]

The machine would also indicate that Thyme White is out of the Stayers.

This fecking game.

 

[Trips]

Thyme Hill confirmed as out, should hopefully be at Aintree

 

[The Bear]

The machine?

 

[Nando]

The machine?

Betfair Exchange. Thyme Hill was trading at 50s before the announcement was formally made, when he was a 10/3 shot with the bookies.

Absolutely savage 24 hours with the Giggi updates and then those this morning.

Is someone doing the Cheltenham Tipsters comp again this year?

Is someone doing the Cheltenham Tipsters comp again this year?

Nando ran it last year, and Darlo before that I think. Hopefully someone will take it up

Massive kick in the balls with the news yesterday and today for the festival really. Just takes something away from those races in particular the Arkle and the Stayers.

Don't know whether it's just me but Mullins always seems to have at least one big name pick up a niggle the week before Cheltenham every single year, very frustrating.

 

[Trips]

Lieutenant Rocco out of the Ultima. Was looking at that for the race too with the ground softening

 

[The Bear]

I had that picked out too

It would be really good if Nando could run it again this year as I don't really want to take much more on to the stuff I'm doing elsewhere on the Forum (PTG)

 

[BillyDee]

I reckon I could do it, unless someone more competent is able to..?

Just have more on Happygolucky. He's going to go off 3/1.

I can run the competition if people are interested.

48 hours decs for Tuesday will be out tomorrow morning and it would appear that Hills have an early indication that Royale Pagaille is going to the Gold Cup as they've slashed Galvin into 7/4 fav for the National Hunt Chase.

SkyBet are doing their £10 back offer for the Supreme and it looks like it is about to cut up badly. Blue Lord drifting like a barge and looking set for the County and with 5 places being offered, it looks ripe for some filthy each way, albeit you'd only get the win part of your £10 back if your selection doesn't win.

 

[Trips]

Skybet still going 13/8 Royale Pagaille and 9/4 Galvin.

Interesting to see what Venetia and Ricci do with Royale Pagaille. Think Ricci will want to go GC

 

[The Bear]

Definitely like the looks of Metier or Bob Olinger now for the Supreme. I was going to oppose Appreciate It any way so the ground potentially being really soft makes that decision easy.

Rain forecast for Sun/Mon/Tue as well too.

Cheltenham Festival bet appears to show punter standing to win over £5,000 without horses even running

A SHREWD Cheltenham Festival punter apparently stands to win more than £5,000 – without their horses even running. A betslip appearing to show two bets with potential pay outs of a combined £…

That is a very nice situation to be in!

Deffo cash out the first and then let Shishkin and maybe Monkfish run too for an even bigger offer on the second of they both win.
