Absolute warrior - that race epitomised the horse.
Very sad for all associated with him.

George Baker could have a very good evening at Kempton. Also very sad news regarding Many Clouds.0

Lucy Verasamy at the ITV racing. Hmm, I'll have to watch more often.0

That will do very nicelybobmunro said:Great racing today at Cheltenham and Doncaster - some short prices but all look nailed on (famous last words).
Melon definitely goes at Leopardstown tomorrow. Best price now for the Supreme is 10/1 but will be favourite after winning with ease tomorrow! If you are going to back it for Cheltenham then do so before 1.30 tomorrow!

Won very easily but it wasn't much of a race. Not much experience to take into a proper race at Cheltenham.0

The Supreme doesn't look much of a race to be honest and won't take a lot of winning. Melon has an enormous engine and Ruby was struggling to pull him up today, so getting up the hill at Cheltenham shouldn't cause too many problems.superclive98 said:Won very easily but it wasn't much of a race.

In terms of experience, he will run at Leopardstown in February before going to Cheltenham.0 -
I think that he will need that second run, in a tougher race, to prepare him for the Supreme. It's always a tough race to win, however it may look on paper.bobmunro said:

Yes, there's no easy race at Cheltenham but it genuinely doesn't look as strong a field as usual in the Supreme. The Grade 1 at Leopardstown will be needed but I genuinely expect him to win that and then go on to win at Cheltenham - subject to some luck of course, not least injuries.superclive98 said:

16/1 about a 4/1 shot will do me at this stage!!1 -
That's a very nice price indeed. It won't be 4/1 on the day if he's got Ruby Walsh on his back!bobmunro said:

It could be the same source.1 -
I'm always dubious of these 'plots' but at those prices they're worth a punt0

Last time one of these trainer gambles became public knowledge they were all complete shite.0

Not if the book's 150% it won't be. Bookmakers wouldn't do that would they?bobmunro said:

Back the second favourites - that's where the value will be!!
Oh yes they would because, for example, Bet 365's book for the 3.20 reads Pulsating 13/8 (and it isn't even the favourite!), 4/5, 5/1, 7/1, 11/1, 14/1 & 16/1.1 -
I would also point out it's over two years since the trainer last had a winner so, should all three go in, the trainer might just be called in for an explanation.0

Do bookies assume that all punters are stupid?
