….I’ve always struggled in Cyprus without VPN. Going there myself in 3 weeks.
 
….having scored a few screamers at Elland Rd and played at Leicester (Filbert St), I’ll have less chance to mention that next season. I know there’s a few Leicester fans on here, you’ve had an amazing few years so let’s hope you can bounce back.
 
Whens the threads for next season getting started..?

Novice Hurdlers / Novice Chasers etc etc
 
Tickets for the Festival Tuesday bought today....plus members bar access through a mate... just the ?480 to take my old man on a day out.

Best get that NHC winner found soon enough.

An antepost bet on Running Lion - should this be settled as lost?

Sure I've had a case of backing an antepost horse and it being withdrawn on the day and had stake returned, but wasn't sure if this was just a gesture of good will or not

Definitely a goodwill gesture, any horse backed on ante post terms should be a loser if he/she doesn’t run for any reason.
The only exception I can think of would be similar to the case 3 weeks ago when Lingfield moved their Derby trial to the AW track, a fundamental change of race conditions/distance, so all bets were refunded…

Yeah thought that was the case Ista - FWIW, I got on to live chat (PP) and got the stake refunded as free bets, better than a kick in the bollocks :applouse:

Unless balloted out...

Worth clarifying maybe for someone.

Las Americas is where you want to stay then. Adeje is quieter but still nice. You can walk along the beach front to either and it's about 20/30 minutes.
 
Sounds very much like connections will retire Echoes In Rain if she finishes in the places in the Ascot Gold Cup.

Already discussing a trip to Frankel for her... worth noting in case anyone has backed her for March already.

I can see her running very well as well like Burning Victory last year who looked all over the winner 2 furlongs out. She could go out with a bang. Great ew prospects. She'll be held up for a late run and I think Ascot and decent ground will really suit her.
