Fat Jockey Patrons

Penalties are based on Class 1 wins which includes Listed and up.
I've a share in Airlie Beach (and Bunk Off Early for that matter) and I'm not expecting her target or jockey to be decided until the weekend before Cheltenham. This is her likely race and, as she's had 4 different jockeys in her 7 races, I'm not unduly worried about who rides. Ruby preferred Penhill in the Royal Bond after all.
Over this distance I'd hope we have more speed than Let's Dance but time will tell.
I think Betfair are out to get punters money who like to have a bet on a horse they are familiar with but don't do the research, as they have now added Annie Power to the Mares Hurdle market, and they are NOT NRNB.
Either I have missed something or they are conning b******s, I'd say it's likely the latter.
Edit: Well, that didn't last long, no sooner had I wrote this than she had disappeared, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one!
wouldnt LD run here to take advantage of her novice status.......
She could do that in any of the other novice races though, especially with her mares allowance in those. She improved for a step up in trip so I am still not sure what talk about this race is for.
I hope Ruby picks Airlie Beach but like Archie's faith
Interesting to compare Timeform (AB 149, LD 144p) with OR (AB 141, LD 147). Given how Moon Racer was upped for staying in his box while Ballyandy won at Newbury, I'd say that there's more of a recency bias in Ireland than the UK. While I've every respect for Let's Dance (and La Bague Au Roi for that matter), at 2 miles Airlie has every right to be favourite. Ruby has picked another horse against us twice and been soundly beaten both times. Paul T or Danny M will do just fine.

Get a better price then too I suppose.
Can I ask, are you inclined to back your own horses or do you just own and enjoy it that way?
These days I never back my own because I think it's bad luck. Also, given the prices they usually go off, it takes a fairly chunky bet to win more than the prize-money and I just think of it as good money after bad.
I only have small shares but this season I've had 13 runners, 8 winners and 3 seconds, that have won over £100k.

Are they all trained by Willie? I bet the owners day is a brilliant experience!
