His run in the pertempts with delta work. His start price for that race and the whole plan they set out. Gordon having him in mind for this. And having the best amateurs in his pocket. All make him a bet to me.

You've just backed Glenloe
Yes sir. I'm well aware what I'm doing.
Got simular comments when I backed rathvinden/ jury duty Last year at big prices.
He didn't jump over obstacles well enough to win that pertemps, not a positive going over fences.
Start price could have been morons betting on the green and gold.
Gordon will have about 5 in mind for this MINIMUM.
Amatuers, yeah good point.
I already know the answer to this is "can cash out"... but Do you not think the Kim Muir would be the long term aim, as he's never going to say it and he could EASILY have a couple of runs this season without ever being in danger of winning?
Yes sir. I'm well aware what I'm doing.

I put up Rathvinden
and neither are similar horses?
***This isn't true :highly_amused: Was my biggest winner though a few days after, not sure everyone has the search function that I do but he was first mentioned page 24 on the 2018 thread.

You would need no more optimism for BBB than Glenloe at the same price.
Name the 5. Iv gone through them all. Flawless escape can't jump and has already bombed. Ben Dundee is not good enough and dosent stay.....
Iv gone through every novice chaser in his yard I can't see 5.
I very much think the 4 milers the aim. Delta Work form is looking pretty good.
Blow by blow would have some sort of chance if he went here.
.
Carter McKay is aparrently In mind according to a mark Howard email ....
Glenloe ...
Monkshood at an absolute push ....

The form with DW looks good but the 3rd has been pumped 160L. I'd want 33/1 Glenloe 25/1 is a bit skinny.

I put up rathvinden. You copied me 100%
My theory with BBB is that it doesn't like good ground especially over an inadequate trip, all happens too quick.
Tower Bridge is on my radar for this.

Maybe 5 was a little high because of the ones in the betting some won't be running for definite now....
Delta Work
Champagne Classic
Blow By Blow
Cracking Smart (not anymore)
Carter McKay
Dortmund Park
Meh, the fact there is little risk changes so much. IF I couldn't get a large chunk back I wou;dn't consider it, but I can see the point.
He wasn't on my radar at all, I still don't hugely fancy him and yet still I can see myself backing him.
Scary world.
Haha I did go back and check, you did mention it first :highly_amused:
The angle was about Patrick Mullins taking the ride that lured me in and his (very obvious) back class over hurdles.
Certainly a higher level than Glenloe has shown

Added rathvinden 16/1 nrnb bog ew.*
Patrick on board in the flogas I know they need jockeys and can't take that literal at all but it's good to have experience riding him.*
Dury duty 12/1 ew
Mossback 25/1 ew
Rathvinden 16/1 ew

That was the whole point with glenloe. Show as little as possible.
On the day itself when it mattered. glenloe and delta work were equal. Good form.
Dortmund park isn't chasing.
Cracking smart isn't either.
Delta works rsa
Champagne classic has pace travelled like a dream throughout the martin pipe. could be jlt if not RSA
Leaves you with Carter McKay.
And glenloe .....
Yes I know, I said that in my post.
Your spelling is about as good as your reading
After race at*Cheltenham Fri, 17th Mar, 2017 (1st)**I was lucky the ride came up and I put a call in and got it, but then I got offered another ride and Gordon wouldn't let me off him. He travelled everywhere, jumped every hurdle and was a winner all the way really. Gordon's had an unbelievable week and it's a privilege to ride for him. It's been an amazing week. To beat Willie, with the strength he has - and he's an amazing trainer - is brilliant. It's a credit to the staff and the owners, I'm part of a team so we'll enjoy it. Coming over I was hoping for one and we won the first race with Labaik so everything else has been a bonus. It's unbelievable, we had three winners Tuesday and had a bit of a drink, too much so we haven't touched a drop since. When we get home next week we'll have a staff party. Apple's Jade winning was sweet, Cause Of Causes was special but winning the Martin Pipe race is great.**Gordon*
From my first post, this answer is the one that has changed my mind. I think that's a good point.
WHole point of the forum for me is to ask questions to help form better opinions. I'd written Glenloe off (by not even thinking about him), I think it's good to try and knock a bet first until there is nothing left to knock.
25/1 with cashout is perfectly reasonable.

Alright you missed the back class angle
I was done for a place on mossback too. In all honesty I thought mossback was going to win at the time. I'll have to watch it back as I could have been wrong.
