Skelton Last 14 days chase strike right of 8%. Could be tuning up for the fest I guess. But 2023 level stakes P/L of -34 means I'm tempted to give his runners a fairly wide berth
 
So when Third Time Lucki, Langer Dan and Pembroke also win big Dan is in for some week.
66/1 top trainer anyone ?

You can borrow my crash helmet I think you need it more than me

I wouldn’t...I quite like it when trainers go a little quiet it’s the ones that hit form a fortnight too early that worry me.....Hendo has a bad spell before most festivals it means nothing. Dan is a target trainer ....his main target at the weekend was the Kelso race and his horse ran a blinder despite drifting alarmingly (folks presumably taking your stance that his horses weren’t firing) . His other main Saturday horse would have won comfortably if his jockey hadn’t had impulse control issues again. Obviously your shout but unless the trainer says there is an issue I’m not paying any attention to it personally.

tbh he's not a trainer I like for the fest anyway - no winner in 3 fests, 4 winners total, 3 in the same race, all over hurdles, bad recent chase form. Best of luck, but not for me

Hey no worries we’ve all been there. Huge respect for the apology but honestly everything’s good
 
I’m donning my crash helmet for this one but there might be one person that appreciates it. A Dan Skelton soft ground double in case the rain comes …. Ante post comes to 608-1 with Sky Gallia Des Liteaux banc and Protektorat

Btw both their antepost prices are bigger than the exchange price as it currently stands

I like that RB, very much.
Thank you
 
What about HMS Seashorse in the Coral Cup and Fil Dor in the County? Not guaranteed for FD to run there, but strikes me that he has a chance, possibly a bit heavy in the weights. Interrelated form and both have strong form, imo.
 
Willie wins the Supreme / Ballymore​


IET / IEP
30/1 (WH) - can be boosted to 33/1

FV / IEP
14/1 (365 enhanced)



With WH out to 6/1 for Il Etait Temps, that looks a fair each way price and the preview night vibes are that Impaire Et Passe is better than Gaelic Warrior... if Willie wins the Supreme, this one surely goes off fav and shorter than the current 7/2 with this particular bookie.

However, (and this isn't new news or indeed fact at all) but I get the feeling they think Facile Vega and Impare Et Passe are their best two... so 14/1 is more tempting on the nose...

With Run4Home's post in the Supreme, thought I'd highlight this again..... the second one should be of interest for some!

I should probably get on the top one, as already backed the bottom one at 21/1 :star:
 
May as well bet him for top trainer as well, make it a six timer.

Add his son for top jockey and you'll have a Liverpool (7 timer -SEVEN):devilish::highly_amused:

Wasn't it when Germany battered Brazil in the 2014 World Cup, Pornhub had to remove the highlights because people kept uploading it in the public humiliation category? :welcoming:

Lucinda Russell's horse seem in flying form at present. From not that many runners in March - 6 have won (all of her last 5 runners) and most others have place including one at a big price in the Morbattle.

Corach Rambler - Ultima/Ahoy Senor - Gold Cup

Both won/placed last year. Would probably be better E/W when extra places for each race are annouced. Long trip down from Scotland for horses with no chance.

More doubts over Ahoy Senor but if he finally got it all together then he could easily be up there - bit of a muddle behind Galopin in the market and horses placed in the RSA do have a good record in the Gold Cup the following year.

Like that, but immediately annoyed that Corach Rambler is now fav for the Ultima.
