You been busy requesting again CoD, they’ll flag you lol

I don't back most of them, just requesting on behalf of others.

I also request across multiple platforms so as to not arouse suspicion, or at least that's the plan anyway.

 

[Can't Catch Me]

Ragnar Lodbrok gone on to my watchlist for this race after the weekend. May just not be good enough but didnt look to be overly exerting himself to me!

I agree, there is a big list of Gigginstown horses to work through though. He is certainly one. Maybe 3m was just a bit too far at the weekend too.

 

[Hardy Eustace]

Wide receiver's next run could be informative.

But agree there is a huge list of Giggi potentials!

Wide Receiver was my dark horse of the Giggy batch as he was never a bumper horse and they went easy on him last season. Given JOB also has plenty of Giggy novice hurdlers as well, they could both have the resources to line one up for this race.

 

[Can't Catch Me]

Not sure what we want from Wide Receiver here. Win but not by far?!

 

[jonthehammer]

or finish second by a short margin after fluffing the last :highly_amused:

 

[Can't Catch Me]

Haha. Hard to know if he's getting a nice mark or not quite good enough., Gut feeling is still the former.

 

[Run4Home]

Looks like one they are setting up for this race alright.
His hurdling is very poor though at times, loses a lot of momentum

 

[Imperial Commander]

It will be interesting to see the time - Kennedy seemed to be setting a very slow pace for an odds on shot allegedly trying to make all!

 

[Can't Catch Me]

Looks like one they are setting up for this race alright.
His hurdling is very poor though at times in a few races, loses a lot of momentum

Yes he did make a lot of mistakes. Pinged the second last when the pace picked up though.

 

[Run4Home]

Yes he did make a lot of mistakes. Pinged the second last when the pace picked up though.

Yeah, with hurdling something which can definitely be improved on though come his bigger targets.
Does look like one they are setting up for a handicap come March certainly

 

[robith]

Right, when does this market open then haha

 

[Hardy Eustace]

Hills have cut wide receiver for the pipe. 20 from 25s. Any bloody excuse.

Anyway he can still be backed any race at 20s should he end up anywhere else than here which is obviously a no brainer if backing win only.

 

[Lobos]

Wide Receiver will not be winning anything at the Fez. Not good enough to travel over imo.

 

[YoungHustler]

Wide Receiver will not be winning anything at the Fez. Not good enough to travel over imo.

I'll take the risk and have taken 20s TWAR with Hills. He's now 16s for the Martin Pipe. Hopefully he is much better than his initial handicap rating of 129.
