For the first time that I have noticed, PP offering genuine money back on cahsouts. I've had a few offer me a little extra on top, but now, for example, I've one offering a 12pt profit. Maybe about to go NRNB?

Been like that since Friday for me. Although changes different times throughout the day ie goes back to stake, or decent cash out.
 
Has Johnny Ward ever said anything of note.
I cannot believe he makes a living as a pundit in this game.
He's feckin useless, not just his opinions (they're arguable) , just his complete lack of knowledge on what's going on and where horses are likely to run etc.
I've been giving him the benefit but the latest Irish racing youtube thing is the last straw.

Charlatan.

What are the odds that David Jennings puts up Might I for the 4th time in 2 years tomorrow?
 
Every year there looms something that might ruin the festival. Flu, covid, Elliot, snow - insanity that this year it's the whip
 
I think I'm very fussy, but what does everyone make of the new lay out of Racing Post website? I think I just hate change, probably take a while to get used too!

Yeah hate it, the app is just painful.
But then again my Saturday was ruined because I couldn’t get a hard copy of the paper until getting to the course.

Just a reminder to all you UK residents coming over to the DRF.

Monday 6 Feb is our new bank holiday, St Brigid's Day. The banks will be closed but almost everything else open. We tend though to have a Sunday service in operation on public transport for days such as this, if that's relevant to any of you.

Blimey.....its fun, but as tipsters, the guys on UTA are literally stealing a living :biggrin-new:.....are they actually trying to make the bookies that sponsor them money?

4-1 on a bumper horse with 2 bumpers at DRF at weekend, which will almost certainly through up a new fav......i like the horse and luckily have at long odds, but that's a terrible price and it hasn't even posted the best ratings so far

and then 3-1 Luccia.....she has only run once and scoped dirty last time which given her past she is prob 3-1 to actually get there.....and that price in one of most competitive races at festival every year....and several have run better this season already

There are some good tips programmes worth watching....Lets talk, RTC (Ruby), Jumps Show, Darren Harper, Cheltmental all pretty switched on for anyone not seen them.

BUT UTA is now for the laugh....which at least it is

Do you just base your opinion solely on someone else's ratings?

Even when Gavin was on it last year he performed poorly. Hard to put up a horse every single week, even when you don't fancy anything.

I do agree however that this week's picks are poor however and you can say that about most of their picks.

I wouldn't say Let's Talk is much better - Josh puts up horses he's supposedly been told are good from Elliott's yard that are running soon and ABW puts up every horse from a smaller Irish yard.

Harper just puts up horses highlighted on here.
