So who else snaffled that 25s on Apple's of Bresil :anonymous:

Think they might have slightly got that wrong.

Jim - Has there been any word that he’s decent or are people jumping on the colours? He’s a store so only the informed know how he goes.

They're removing the dipper from the calendar? The race that has produced the last two winners of the RSA?

Seems... Odd...

This was the one major surprise I took from it. - lots of the other changes re reshuffling make sense but seems very odd to scrap The Dipper.

I can't believe the Dipper didn't even make the main headlines. I nearly spat my tea our when I read the article. I've always liked that race and as others have said, it actually seemed a race which attracted good fields. Odd to remove it for the sake of others.
 
With these new gambling reforms on the white paper, how will antepost be treated under the net losses of 125 quid a month?
 
Is Barry Connell showing the same confidence about Apples of Bresil on debut as he did Marine Nationale? Any comments from him ??

The end of this article refers to a lot of people on here, and so it's good to know that the lady in charge of the BHA has us in mind.
The last sentence sums me up most years :highly_amused:

Just need the gambling commission to listen and stop acting like fucking God almighty.
And the bookies are hopefully given sufficient guidance and rules so they cannot abuse the fucking arse out of it, for their own ends.

Still a lot of unanswered questions, though I’ve not read the report yet, hopefully next few days might clarify things.
 
Ballyburn very impressive. Really kicked away from them in a short time. Where does he go then ????

Very good wasn't he. Ruby said straight afterwards he'd likely need a trip when going over hurdles and given his colours the AB could be the race but he definitely looks to have the attributes for the Ballymore too. Can probably safely rule out Supreme. 10's Ballymore 16's AB after that win.

Thanks. I do like Tullyhill though and can see the two being split. One Ballymore and one Albert ?

I don’t think Tullyhill and Ballyburns targets will be connected in any way as Willie will have an army of novices to split and will be mobbed in all three races.

I personally like Tullyhill for the AB and Ballyburn is the head scratcher as he showed way more pace today than on debut.

Yeah you'd imagine he'll split up his best but with the abundance he appears to have going into next season it's possible some might clash, all being well with Redemption Day I'd say he'll go Supreme and I do really like him for that all being well. Mirazur West also looked very decent on debut and no doubt they'll be at least a few more to throw into the mix. I guess the opposition might become a factor too if there's a standout in another yard. If Nicky doesn't have a good one to fire at the Supreme then the Ballymore could again be quite hot on paper with the talking horses around at the moment.

All ante post bets placed are effectively considered losers as the bet shows no return until settlement, so these restrictions will have a huge impact on the ante post industry, I’d suggest even the most conservative punters in here will be over the125 quid threshold, will have an enormous impact on the industry and on how we all approach Cheltenham sadly unless of course you are comfortable sharing your most private financial information with strangers…

This may be a silly question but do you happen to know if the 125 loss is taken on a bookie by bookie basis or would this be a 125 loss across any and all online accounts?
 
Ballyburn a keen going sort, showed some pace there on decent ground. Think 2m on good to soft round Cheltenham would be ideal, Supreme looks the obvious candidate to me.

Tullyhill would prefer a bit more of a trip and a bit more cut according to Patrick, Ballymore I think.

On them both at 12s, will take my chance

Agree. The way he quickened away from them was really impressive and a tad surprising after what he showed first time up.
