2018 Bookie Specials

Until you know the final decs and the going, lengths is a mugs' game, albeit it's harmless as a fun bet for small stakes.

I notice that the Skybet odds for Willie, Gordon and Nicky to train 13 or more runners between them has shrunk from 10/1 to 7/1. Not unreasonable given that they currently have 14 A/P favourites.

I've come unstuck on lengths bets plenty of times over the years, pilots cruise to the front and don't ride to the line.
Altior (Arkle) Simonsig (Arkle) and Master Minded (Champ chase) have all won very comfortably without going over the winning distance line...
 
Agree on distance bets. Hard enough on the day let alone this far out.

It seems crazy 3 trainers could win 50% of the races. Quite a fun little special though.

William Hill have top trainer, top jockey and top owner markets up. Surprised Gigginstown aren’t favourites in the top owner market

What have they got.
Samcro
Cracking smart
Apple's jade
Petit mouchoir
A few staying chasers. Dounikos, shattered love
Road to respect
A few decent prospects for handicap hurdles like blow by blow/ delta work etc...
Should have plenty of handicap chasers
Tiger roll

You'd have to think they have a decent shout of bagging 3 and could potentially have more.

Buveur dair and apples jade cancel each other out for jp and giggi

Haha I went through the same list Scooby. And was thinking pre-market about what this market would look like.

Going to request a price on Sullivan Bloodstock too, but suspect I'd rather weight in on Giggs right now!
