    Free Thursday Best Mate ticket for a FJ in need

    Hello squad. Quick one - I used my Rewwards4Racing points to get a Best Mate ticket for the Thursday, assuming my crew would repeat what we did last year. Hilariously, we managed to secure tickets for free through work, but in the Club enclosure. So I no longer need mine. Life is really...

    2024 Trainer Over/Under

    Bit of fun as we start to get into the meat of the season. I was thinking about trainers to back/avoid and looked up the trainer list from last year. Thought it could be a bit of fun to do Price Is Right for trainers' year on year performance. So below is the list and their 2023 winner count...

    Historical Prices Thread

    I've seen a few people mention this in passing and I thought it might be neat to have an ongoing record of what prices the winners where, when for each year, due to the magic of the wayback machine This is the Jan update, I'll do a Feb and a March one. Sadly however no one captured the...

    State of the Nation: 2 Months to Go

    This was an idea for a thread I had a while back but COD's post in the ante post thread made me revisit it as it's (just under) 2 months to go. We could even maybe revisit one month out. The idea is a forum for broader discussion over specific bets and perhaps even discussion on strategy So...

    How do you approach Aintree vs Cheltenham?

    Thought I'd raise the question as each year after Cheltenham I always seem to end up down at Aintree, and can't put my finger on it at all. I struggle to get the read on whether running at Cheltenham was good or bad from horse to horse and race to race. There also isn't as much publicly...

    Multipes Strategy for 2019

    I've seen a few posts around multiples around the forum, and I was very bored in a research meeting today and started thinking about a sharing of multiples strategy and approach. Mine has been quite the learning curve as I got into national hunt around 2013, and had a few years of small stakes...

    What's the muggiest Cheltenham bet you've ever made?

    As we count the second to the new jumps season proper, I thought it might be good craic to have some banter at our own expense. Especially as I just remembered about 6 years ago when I was new to racing, I backed a horse in the bumper because someone told me they were a good jumper, and I was...

    Wanting to destress and distract pre festival?

    Why not listen to my podcast! It's about rugby admittedly, but I've recently started this and I'm quite proud of it. As there's a great community on here which has been brilliant to be part of over the last year I thought I'd take a punt and share. We look at rugby through a statistical led...

    The Fear

    Definitely in the "not going to have a winner all week" mode of Cheltenham build up now. Told someone in the office there was "no way" Brain Power could win the Champion so lump on. ITT: Soothing words before the big battle
