Abs that's twice in 6 weeks it's happened and cost me a few quid, first time I found it funny, second time around it's give me the hump but as you say what more do you expect from this standard
Nice one Smiffy, you love your short priced favs. LOL Up to 7 winners today already. booom, boom, boom etc Soll ran well, interesting national option. boom
I know it's a deathwish to take on an unbeaten Pipe runner in the Imperial Cup but I shall be doing so [5 places e/w] at 12/1 with Arzal, from the up and coming Harry Whittington yard. ...................and if you take a tip from me for a 2m hurdle race you're probably off your rocker.

I thought I heard the commentator say something but again I was painting the hall way and so wasn't paying proper attention
No apparent reaction on Betfair and confirmed earlier for the Pertemps on Thursday so I guess he's OK. Needs a strong show (again) to have a chance of doing a Rummy (IMHO).
I have Edeymi for the pertemps been backing him since the qualifier, at 16's all the way in to 8's fingers crossed had about £100 on him so far, him and vigil my 2 big shouts at the festival
I fancy cole harden especially at 25's could produce a great run shouldn't be that price in my eyes, had a poor run in the cleeve hurdle but has since had a wind op
So @PeanutsMolloy 3:50 Uttoxeter Midlands grand national chase tomorrow, any fancies?
Tbh smiffy I've not had time to to have a close look but at first glance it looks like a number with the potential to do the biz. I love the Midlands Nat (used to go on from Cheltenham to Uttoxeter and it's a great day there) but I may end up watching rather than punting. Will post any fancies if I have them tomorrow. Would like to see just how testing it is.
Only Synchronised has carried >10-12 to win it this century. No horse older than 9 has won it since 1995.
.........but stats are there to be broken.
novice won the Gold Cup, first since Captain Christy in 1974. so whats 14 years ;-)
You're absolutely right. I had a top-weight nailed on to win the 2012 GN so I'm a fine one to talk.......nonetheless percentages dear boy, percentages!
On handicap, got to be worried about AP's horse as he won the Devon Nat so well with 11-11 but it was only 11 days ago (this will be his 3rd race, each on soft~heavy in 37 days), on the customary testing going today (not made any better by an earlier 3m chase) over half a mile further than at Exeter....10/3 looks a tad skinny. Happy to play for at least one of the places and hope for a bit of extra luck. Good luck smiffy.

Not angry, it's standard for this form of racing.
Horse ploughed through the last and was knackered.

I shall be leaping off the cliff with Cole Harden in the world hurdle, otherwise keeping powder dry
Keep it rollin' Chief. Brilliant.
I'll go with a quick and dirty on the stats:
Age: 7~9
Weight: <10-13
Won over at least 3m
3+ runs in the season
Last run: <30 days
Leaves 4:
Samingarry 33/1
Catching On 3/1
Woodford County 18/1
Foxbridge 16/1
Can't bring myself to back the fav Catching On at a stupid (AP related) price so will go e/w the other 3.
NB. LOW CONVICTION = SMALL STAKES
