  • This week could be a Mullins Massacre
  • Gutted to win the first as now I don't get my losing cash back with Sky :smile:
  • Appreciate It .. next year's Champion Hurdle ?, even .. Gold Cup ? .. just hacked up
    Not sure about that, Lincs. I would guess he’ll go chasing next year so no CH, more likely aimed at the JLT. 

    Then depending on likely stamina, possibly GC but more likely Ryanair in 2023.
  • Two short priced favourites - must be a lot of doubles and more that are looking good.
  • Has a trainer ever placed 1,2,3 & 4 in the gold cup?

    Wouldn't be surprised if Mullins does it in the next few years!

    Michael Dickinson - first 5!

    You beat me by a very short head, Peanuts!

    (does it count that I was there?)
  • As much as it's great to see horses such as Appreciate It and Shishkin dot up (and they probably would have done so in most eras), does anyone else think that the introduction of so many races has meant that we have far more uncompetitive affairs now compared to say 20 years ago?

    100% agree, AA.

    Three days of quality (and quantity) is better than four days of just the former.

    Could even look at the Arkle
  • so far .. two no contests .. the Champ H looks quite open, let's hope that we see a closeish finish .. I say again it's a pity that the two probable favourites get the big mare's allowance  :s

    Possibly, although I would suspect he'll need more than 2 miles over fences.

    I had only been in the game two years at that point, so still learning to be a bandit!

    Jesus! Just realised that this year is my 40th anniversary in the mystical world of bookmaking!
  • A little EW dabble on Pym in the next.

    Times of first two races suggests this isn't a bad idea and the ground isn't as soft as is declared.

    I really hope I enjoy watching this. Ugh. Alnadam a huge gamble is worrying me but he goes against the typical winning profile iirc.

  • What a story. I love Vintage Clouds. Gutted for Happygolucky but, you know what, I don't really mind too much. Happy with a place.
  • Appreciate It
    Shiskin 
    Aye Right placed at 16/1

    Now if Honeysuckle wins it'll have been a very decent day 1....


  • Vintage Clouds the absolute prime example of a horse doing exactly what it loves to do. That was amazing.
  • result, a bit jammy last two races bet small ew on both :smile:
    first one 33/1 as outsider in a 5 horse race no other reason, so small profit. Then last minute i put on vintage clouds ew @ 25/1 , had top 3 as other two on a single and lucky 31. 

    Hopefully the luck hasn't run out, normally just blank it all... 
  • Really enjoyed that race, why was it such a good story vintage clouds won? Sorry I'm not clued up on horse racing at all.

    5th attempt at that race, 11 year old horse. Has a bit of a following and always knocked on the door in that race without winning.

    Cheers, got goshen for 3.05 - not hopeful.

    Sorry, Goshen is carrying my money also. You can blame me!
  • Yeah I’ve gone for Goshen as well e/w.
