Charging for a betting service and putting up an 8/1 favourite for a handicap in November is pretty bloody shit IMO.

Knowing full well there's an army of sheep who will turn it into a 6/1 shot too !

Putting 2 and 2 together, potentially Shoot First could be Gav Lynchs first tip.

Absolutely mental. Must be sponsored by bookies after that joke.
 
Was watching RacingTV there and Henry DeBromhead was being interviewed. Must say it was great to see him in such good form. He was saying Michael O’Leary has agreed to name a mares novice race at Cheltenham the ‘Jack DeBromhead mares novices hurdle’. Though I didn’t quite catch if it was the race at The Festival or one before then. Great gesture from the O’Leary’s.

A quick note

From the research I am putting together for a new thread in the Diary section, it seems that last season we HAD started the individual Novice Chase and Novice Hurdle threads in early October!

….I suspect that’s largely down to nobody bothering to open them, as opposed to any directive. I did open one for the Triumph a few weeks ago, I doubt anybody would object to Novice Hurdles/Chases.

I’ll see if anybody raises objections & happily open threads later if they don’t.

I think it was agreed we wouldn't have individual novice hurdle and chase race threads yet as we end up discussing the same horse across 2 or 3 threads like Dysart Dynamo and Sir Gerhard last year.

….ah ok, that makes sense. We can agree collectively when to open the individual threads.

I agree with this. It’s already fragmented enough in here with all the discussions happening on diary pages too. As most trips will be far from certain right now let’s keep them all together.

Is it possible for one of the moderators to set up a 2023 Bumper thread? Some of the info is falling into different threads, would be good to centralise it for the months ahead. Thanks in advance :smile-new:

Anyone can set up a thread PP.
I know there was/is a desire to avoid individual race threads until later in the season but I guess the bumper thread is one that can't cross into other threads which is where the frustration exists.
Feel free to set it up PP.....or anyone...

I always find these an interesting read.

American Mike not impressive on an overall time or sectional time rating.

Likewise, Envoi near Identical circuit time to Fury Road and from 2 out and whilst He's a good horse Fury he's not got the toe Envoi has. Hcap run 1.6 secs quicker ext circuit and 1sec slower than Envoi/Fury from 2out just emphasis the below par runs from the graded performers on the day and Envoi lots to prove in a true run 3m still.

Well is that the kiss of death for Appreciate It winning the Arkle after he has been tipped up by Jennings on Upping the Ante.

I need to look up his record from his tips for the past few years

First decent tip he's given in a long long time IMO.
 
Got to say I’m loving what I see from Johnny Dinesen so far. He’s a proper realist. Only wants winners and not these fancy prices like DJ that don’t win. Just the yankees for the championship races just sums them both up.

JD - win only ‘says it’s pointless betting ew this early on, throwing away two stakes if your horse doesn’t turn up’
Constitution Hill
Energumene
Blazin Khal
A Plus Tard

DJ - EW
Vauban
Edwardstone
Zanahiyr
Ahoy Senor
Says he doesn’t believe any will win but playing for the placings!! I really don’t see the point, I’d rather just go all in for the winner like JD
