….so Hollow Games is a 2 miler & no cash-out with 365.

Yeah, I thought it may help some.
But they clearly have someone employed at B365 specifically for the Cheltenham antepost market nowadays. Along with decent tech.

Didn’t see that one coming. He’s not one that would interest me for the Arkle.

I didn’t expect that either. After debut I thought he’d be best as a front running two and a half miler.
 
So the vibe I'm getting here is Fil Dor/Hollow Games Arkle, Mighty Potter/Three Stripe Life Turners and Gerri/Crooner/Chemical being shuffled between RSA and NHC.
 
The vibes re Three striped Life are very strong aren't they. Sounds like he's set on the Turner's and he looks perfect for that.

Unusual for him to mention someone else's horse. He's not the only trainer who's been impressed with Inothewayurthinkin. Mullins said he was a good one too. What race are we thinking for him?

….won twice over 2 miles, similar odds for Supreme & Bally (perhaps slightly shorter in a few places for Bally). Not a mention in the Cromwell stable tours that I’ve read. I have no idea of a target, pity he’s not in Hills a/r market.

Has anyone had any success using B365 via a VPN? They're the only bookie that I can't log on to using my VPN and was wondering if it was just my VPN provider or actually all VPNs. I use Surfshark. Slightly restricted on both my accounts and don't really want to bother friends or family with placing bets for me.

I've never been able to access bet365 whilst using a vpn, i presume it's their software preventing it.
 
Silly question but your VPN is still saying youre in the uk right? I can never get on on holiday with them as their geo restriction tech seems to be much better than everyone else's/they actually care about it, but technically they should have no way of knowing you're on a vpn
 
Elliott confirmed in racing post what many had assumed
A change of tack with his early season readiness to try and be more competitive in spring

may explain the underwhelming runs in October and first runs etc

This makes sense.

I was only thinking over the weekend how many of his have under performed in the early stages of this season. If he has a plan lets hope it pays off otherwise it won't look great to his owners, surely.

All well and good targeting the Spring, and I'm glad he is, but it won't pay the bills if he doesn't get results.

I am more broadly worried about Elliot's approach. Some of this could be reading between the lines here.

Historically this is Gordon's festival successes
Handicaps46%
Golden Pentagon43%
Premier Novice Hurdles9%
Premier Novice Chases3%
Premier Open Chases6%

He has been a premier trophy hunter, targeting races with precision.

But I feel like the way he's spannering cash on new purchases and turning up mob handed to the festival last year, potentially trying to make a point post ban. It feels like something is a little bit amiss. Personally I think I'm going to steer clear of most of his novices

I read that article, some interesting numbers came from it.
He had a poor October obviously but his November winners are considerably up on last year…
