  • Ante Post Yankee

    Any interest in a team AP yankee ?
    It'll take some organising but I think this would be a good addition to the daily yankees....

    Great idea Ista - we should do 2 or 3.

    Surely Yorkhill will go JLT, although it would be the best Arkle that I can remember if he were to join Min and Altior.

      We need a volunteer or 2 to organise threads, start debate, then decide on who the selections will be....

                  I'll get my selection in early:

                  Robin Roe for the Neptune, generally 14/1.

                  Of all the novice hurdles I've watched this season his performance at Aintree has impressed me the most, when he effortlessly beat No Comment by 12 lengths. No Comment has since won two races nicely, and the third also won on his next outing. Dan Skelton said the Challow would be the target for him next and if he wins that the 14/1 will be a distant memory. He looks a high class horse to me and one that can go right to the top.

                    I'd be delighted to have a say in this if I am worthy...... I am going to have a proper little think but I think I'm going to put up a case for Alpha Des Obeaux in the RSA. I think he jumped well over too short a trip behind Coney Island last time out and will be better over further. The way he travelled in the World Hurdle over the trip was fantastic and time may show that Thistlecrack is a magnificent beast so his 2nd might look brilliant and.... I think with the trainer being reknowned as a target trainer, ADO is a great bet in the RSA, which admittedly looks a strong division.

                    We going to do this in here or will someone make a new thread. I do think Mayo needs to be involved though... number of posts alone must put you at legendary status

                        I was on the fence with American Tom and ADO but Kevs made my mind up for me .
                        American Tom in the JLT is my selection guys.

                            I would love to weigh into this

                            Like the first three shouts and my initial fancy to put up would have also been Alpha des Obeaux in the RSA at 12/1 (put up a case for him in the RSA thread and echo Kev's thoughts above) but i'll have a look over later and try and come up with one
