Neptune Novices Hurdle 2017

anyone backing Ballandy for this before todays race ?

I haven't Mayo but if I was forced to back one near the top of the betting it would be him.

Looks one of the poorest Betfair Hurdles of recent times. I have backed Gassin Golf at small stakes each way. Seems to save his best races for Sandown and Newbury and is now 2lb below his last winning mark.
 
Sorry I mean't Morning Glory. Just been reading one of Mayo's posts on another thread.

No - but I have for the supreme 33s NRNB - if it wins the richest 2m handicap why would they run next at 2 mile 5f ? If it wins & runs in supreme it won't be 33s - if it runs poorly today I'll get my money back as surely won't be in the supreme, so net to nothing!

Good logic CK.
 
brillant call cashew king ..supreme next according to ntd
 
Great work CK. You called it exactly right
 
well played CK. you now have a live ticket. good luck.
 
Nice when something goes to plan - I'm in the Cotswolds with the family so will have lunch in the hollow bottom tomorrow to celebrate today's win & look forward to the supreme and hope !
Just goes to show even a blind pig finds a truffle every now & then !
 
That was exactly what I expected from Saturnas today. :encouragement:

Go back to Wicklow Brave's 2 prep runs before he won the 2015 County and you will see money come in for him with Ruby on board and for him to fall out of the screen. Price boost! :D

Ruby doesnt let grade 1s pass him by LR. Cant believe that was the plan.

I don't agree Mayo. He's the biggest ***** out of the lot.

I will have money on PT getting the ride on Saturnas now to keep his price up.
 
I don't see how you can accuse them of anything there LR. The money came for him and he under performed. Simple as that

That was always more likely anyway wasn't it?

I don't think three is a plot going on, but your system of backing them is working and no reason to not carry on.

I'd certainly be interested in Saturnas wherever he turned up
 
Did they mention the target for Finian's Oscar after the race today?

They are a betting bunch so its easy to accuse. I am not knocking their system because I love it.
