Did many people back Summerville Boy?

That was the first and only time I backed the supreme winner, and only backed when they were at the post.

Thought he would have gone on to greater things after but career petered out really

I was on Paloma Blue that day, but backed Summerville Boy with the Sky offer on the supreme. Amazing he won really after those two blunders.

Count me in :highly_amused: Even though I had planned to back him using the SkyBet money back offer, did I though? Did I bollocks!

I think I was almost all in on :watermelon: :grumpy:

I was a Kalashnikov fan boy, but due to the ground I threw one of the Supreme offer bets at it (I think Coral did ?25 that year? Could be mistaken), but deffo didn't back it until the morning of the race

I also chose first flow because of the desperate ground :boxing:
 
Had an each way play on a sort-of related double. The same related double came good last year albeit different race Allaho and Minella coming from the BANC.

Envoi Allen Ryanair
Chantry House Gold Cup
126/1

I think most of us would agree had EA been on his ‘A game’ he probably would have won with Chantry house chasing him home. They could both end up in the GC both in the Ryanair but at the price worth a small play imo.

I backed him because he beat kalashnikov easily in the tolworth

I was baffled that he was double the price of kalashnikov

I swear William Hill did some crazy offer that year and paid double your winnings on the winner of the supreme

I had Kalashnikov at quite a nice price after his hurdle debut at wetherby. Picked Summerville Boy for my Skybet offer as a saver, which worked out quite nicely.
 
Given how popular Chantry House is, could double him at 103/1 with Fusil Raffles in the 1.50 at Cheltenham tomorrow.

For those worried about the possible switch of Appr It to CH, might be worth of couple of insurance doubles...

Ferny / Appr It (CH)
Blue Lord / Appr It (CH)

Willie only really likely to switch Appr It if he thinks he has good cover in Arkle.....and both these would obviously shorten anyway without Appr It

Still decent prices available

For those not so sure of the value of these bets.....last year was living proof they can come true.....and was lucky to have done a couple with Appr It switching to Supreme and Bob and GDM for Bally......was one of my best returns

Surely the first and much more likely switch especially if he’s declared over the middle distance on the 28th is that he goes for the Turners/Marsh. AI’s price of 6/1 for that race appeals more to me to double with FH Arkle

Tend to agree re more likely and usually bet when entries out.....but think lot of people may have done the Arkle / Turners reverse doubles at start of season

Personally, don't mind a few scenarios in my doubles with horses really want....as value usually pretty good....and has worked well past few years

In light of the breaking news think you called that right ...haha!
 
Just looking back through some previous Festival form lines and think there is definite potential in some related bets from the 2020 Supreme:

Yankee;
QM - Shiskin
Stayers - Abacadbras
Gold Cup - Chantry House
Ryanair - Asterion Forlonge

Other contenders from the race:
QMCC - Captain Guinness
Arkle - Edwardstone
Gold Cup - Fiddlerontheroof
Mares - Heaven Help Us

Also the potential for doubles/roll ups such as:
Edwardstone - Wayward Lad - Shishkin - QM
Chantry House - King George - Shishkin - QM

Plenty of options really and think most of the horses from that Supreme have a decent chance in whichever races they go for this year?!

Gerri Colombe in the Ballymore with JWM in the AB is one I like(d).

The JWM price is not that appealing now though.

This got me thinking, JWM has been cut to 12/1 (generally 10/1) from 33/1 without even seeing the racecourse this season. Not sure I've seen a horse quite so popular in the ante post markets without having a run.
