Arkle 2020

Ricci likes Robbie Power so not sure how much to read into those bookings

The big issue with Tom Segal, is that you need to back your choice before he puts his selections up - as if they are the same selection then the price drop is gutting.

Without derailing the thread, the biggest issue with Tom Segal is definitely not that his selections shorten, it's that he is a 'professional tipster' who doesn't make any money! (and he gets the bigger prices!)

Profit for 2013: 542.50
Profit for 2014: 402.00
Loss for 2015: -1296.50
Profit for 2016: 793.30
Loss for 2017: -107.70
Loss for 2018: -891.10
Profit for 2019: 236.61
Loss for 2020: -30.00

He has just as many losing years as he does profitable ones, and he is down 352 points overall in 8 years.

That's just not acceptable for someone who can supposedly move markets, and I don't take a blind bit of notice what this clown says.

Is it obvious I don't like Tom Segal

PS. The reason he avoids social media like the plague is he would be tore limb from limb by the betting public for being a hack, and he would probably lose his job at the RP as a result.

I agree with all of that Charlie.

I can't standddddd listening to or hearing his voice. If he is on something I'll turn it off.

Gavin Lynch & Paul Kealy are portrayed as professional gamblers (and not tipsters), probably the reason I, and others (I believe), warm to them much more. They also don't have really annoying personalities, which helps!

I think the bible are reducing his work/slowly pushing him out, there have been a couple of Pricewise replacements in recent weeks.
They have also upgraded Kealy who (no facts to back this up) talks sense and appears to be more successful, he sat on a couple of preview panels 2/3 years ago and impressed so perhaps there is a strategy at bible HQ because, as you say, the papers credibility is at risk is their tipsters are continuously losing...

Yeh I have noticed that, long overdue. I am amazed he gets away with it.

Tosser , absolute Tosser.

Cannot believe he’s still in the racing game

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Hope Melon goes close this weekend and books his ticket to the Arkle, he loves Cheltenham

Melon loves to Place at Cheltenham. I’d be confident he’d be pipped at the post again, by Fakir if both come here. The. Of course Notebook needs to be added to the mix as well

[Penzance]

Absolutely. Would live him to run in the Arkle

Excellent piece of work - shame the Racing Post haven't done anything on the basis they think the lemmings will continue to buy into his 'success'.

[kinloch brae]

Turning back to this race why is Brewinupastorm around third or fourth favourite? Obviously, they don't think he stays the longer trip but his threadbare form at two miles doesn't warrant that price and he has been off with problem. Loads to prove.

You and me both. I've fancied him (not so quietly) for an Arkle for a while!

Why are you so confident he would be pipped again by Fakir off levels at chelt?

[spotthediff]

Hi all, this is my first post....so be nice

I couldn't help but get involved because I'm a huge fan of Brewin'upastorm and have him and Melon on my shortlist for the Arkle. Why is it a few of you don't think he will go close in this race??

[TimRiggins]

He's on Fakir
