Bet365 being best odds with cashout is good

Just going through how 2020 got on for the Yankees whilst doing my own review of the festival and my betting. Plenty of value losers for these Yankees. Some near misses. But lost importantly... a 48% profit for 2020!

Returns:
March - Each way double of Envoi Allen (12/1) & Minella Indo (20/1)
September - Win double of Envoi Allen (10/1) & Samcro (16/1). With Delta Work at 14s for the Gold Cup resulting in a very close call for a big win.

Closest we got to any other returns was:
June - Each way double of A Plus Tard (20/1) and Carefully Selected (25/1) with the former placing and the latter falling when 3rd at the last.
August - Win double of Champ (10/1) and Santini (12/1)
November - Win double of Notebook (20/1) and Thyme Hill (10/1) who both went off 3/1 ish.

....early heads-up that Aramon is out for the season. I managed to cash-in the August Yankee with Bet365 and replace it with a Trixie and e/w treble (prices are still the same).

Thanks for that. Have brought in Saint Roi for the Yankee as he was the one we left out in favour of Aramon.

....wonder if it’s the done thing to review selections (cash-out and reinvest) in light of performance and trainers comments, or do we just stick with what we have (with slightly better prices)?

More specifically, Pic D’Orhy for the Arkle (April Yankee) and Fakir Champion Chase (May Yankee) given JoB suggesting it will run over middle distances and might step up to 3 miles.

[Istabraq]

Always a chance that happens Eggs, and to be fair you can get the target wrong in February let along 10/11 months out....
