If they have been money laundering they've been doing a pretty awful job of it, it's hard to imagine the clean money coming from their horses would be enough to cover costs and fees involved in their operation.
I must be missing something as usual

Our books going to look very diff in couple weeks & this year seems more crazy

Usually try & scenario plan poss outcomes & see what opps might arise..,,,incl odd doubles, etc

But got a feeling going to be a full on Alton Towers rollercoaster next couple weeks

Aye, it definitely seems less predictable this year. Normally get through these meets relatively safely but that won't happen this year.

Jeriko probably the big one for me where any defeat would be the end. There's a few others in competitive enough races where you could accept a decent / placed effort and not give up. E.g. Gala, SAF...

​​​​​​GL gents.
 
I am so excited for today.
Echo the sentiments, good luck all!

We could feasibly see the winner of the Supreme, Ballymore, AB, mares novice and Triumph out today. Sir Gino kicks it off with a great performance.

Yeah, it's a big weekend but gino starts it off in style, similar performance from jeriko and I'll be a happy man !

….Wodhoow still available at 20-1 TH. Connections not sure of her target ‘after watching Sir Gino’.

I'd say there's plenty of connections who were eyeing up an open triumph that will now be checking their handicap mark for the boodles

I'd like to see nurburgring in the boodles for one

Watching from the stands and sorry to say that I’m pretty sure Datsalrightgino has gone wrong there. Awful for Jamie Snowden.
 
That Marine / CH / Lossiemouth treble on day 1 will be very popular. I wonder if they'll all win?

I really don't like horse racing sometimes.
the deaths as a fan are hard to take.
Couldn't imagine an owners feeling
Im not trying to stick up for the browns, I know nothing.
but why can't their original statement be the truth?
Datsalritegino just dying then brings it all to perspective, wins a top race next time out he's dead.
why should the browns escape be anything other than what has been said.

On another note, just done my absolute bollox on giddy, I'd take the win today over anything else right now. Although having had the privilege of riding work on him I know whats about to happen

I would have to agree AL

I retain the right to change my mind, but thus far have seen no credible evidence that the CAB stuff is the case, at all. I know we've all heard the chat that Gordon has pissed some dodgy people off and it is noticeable there are constant whispers any time something happens in his yard and suspect this could be the case here.

If marine wins at the drf it does look like they just need to jump round to win

As a backer of none of them day 1 may be a tough one for me

Shame here, a lot of my AP bets that have these in arent looking good. So could easily turn up on the Tuesday with very little, and the bookies are going to be well tight on all three of them.
