To be fair.
I'd not read your comment before posting, so it wasn't a retort.

I'd just watched the youtube thing and he annoyed me with his thoughts on State Man, which whilst it's fair enough not to fancy the horse, the reasons were stupidish.
He's certainly not as well thought out as Gavin, who's logic was rarely questionable.

And whilst I get what he means with the looking for something that isn't there, we know that it often is there, cos if it wasn't we'd all be rich.
And you can split your stakes if you want to go each way. So the point he made there was also not well realised.
He seems a bit basic (like his fashion sense), which will be good in some situations but not others.

Not sure what it says about me but, after reading that, I had to go on and watch the start just to see what he was wearing :glee:

He looks like he shops at Matalan a lot (or at least his Mrs does)

:highly_amused: Nearly said exactly the same thing.
It's the first show though, so I'll give him a pass.
 
Anyone watched upping the ante tonight!? Absolutely love the new guest Jonny! Just says it like it is! Lookin forward to what he had to say over the next few months! Brilliant!

Gesskille
Interesting that saddle slipped, cost me a few pennies that did, and even worse to lose to that bag of shit al dancer.:uncomfortableness:
But looks like the cross country could well be in play for this horse.

I backed him Saturday as well and couldn't believe my old mate Al Dancer did him :sorrow: . Going in again for the Becher at 12s.

He'll surely get priced up for the Cross Country at some point today.

Is gesskille definitely entered up in the Becher , I saw that yesterday , but not in the betting now - corals ??.
 
Weveallbeencaught declared in the Ballymore Novices hurdle ( Hyde) at Cheltenham friday - 3-30.
Been looking forward to seeing this horse since he won a bumper at newbury in March.

Compared to Imperial Commander by Twisting Davies.

Collectors Item who finished second in that bumper also declared, as are Hermes Allen, Hubrisko and Music Drive.

Yeh, noticed that earlier. Seems a strange bit of pricing given connections have said that's the target. I've taken it:onthego:
 
Is anybody getting positive cashout values with Paddy Power? looking to offload Banbridge for the NHC, and even though he's 14/1 from 20/1 which I backed at, and the multiples have also shortened I'm only being offered my original stake.

had a similar situation last year but it would fluctuate, some days you had positive values and others just original stakes very odd.

It varies and it also varies per account I think.
I have three bets on Galvin at 33-1 and he's now 10-1, and I can only cash for stake back.
Basically.
Fuck knows.:highly_amused:

If memory serves, they only started offering a cashout value reflective of current prince once NRNB was brought in.
