Have been putting on bits and pieces for a while now, not for huge stakes, but some with decent returns. Lets hope the 10 you have are winners

Not sure who organised them last year, thread for each day with everyone's input, assigned adjudicator selects the 4.
Need a deadline on the Sunday though...

Have to make sure everyone who adjudicates a day can make the time to post the final selection, I remember bitchy couldn't make it last year, was absolute chaos, chaos I tell ya, lol, only joking but he got called away through business, so have to bear it in mind. In addition to the daily ones we always have a master one as well, consisting of the nap from each daily one. These are brill because if we hit one everyone can celebrate together. I think the deadline last year was the Weds or Thurs of the week before the fez

Anyone else heard anything about Yorkhill? Rumours about an injury / operation?

Plenty of noise Paz, nothing concrete and still around the price he was yesterday for JLT so I wouldn't be ripping up those vouchers just yet...
 
Obvious day to get noise too?.... no entry in the Red Mills (which they never mentioned anyway) and no entry in the Flying Bolt (to my knowledge never mentioned either) .... so just someone starting a rumour for the sake of it. *fingers crossed*





FM - I don't think anyone on here would accuse anyone of that... To be honest I'll probably not find it hard to find the winner in at least half the races, but making money on those races might not be the same thing :highly_amused: .... Will need to do some laying the week before! Might need some advice on that actually. Who plays that way currently?
 
I back to lay a bit Kev but haven't got it cracked to be honest.
 
I’ve been quietly reading every feed on here for the past 6-8 months, haven’t posted since last years festival, but thought I’d see your thoughts on a couple of my AP bets that I’m reasonably excited about...

10 pts win treble, placed in October:

Thistlecrack – GC @ 7/1
Altior – Arkle @ 3/1
Douvan – CC @ Evens

Doesn’t return a life changer, but will certainly put my account in profit by a decent amount!

2 pts win 4 fold:

Melon – Supreme @ 11/2
UDS – Ryanair @ 4/1
Finians Oscar – Neptune @ 9/2
Thistlecrack – GC @ 2/1

Also had the maximum allowed on this cracker from Skybet, all to place (3 places) @ 20/1

Melon – Supreme
Petit Mouchoir – Champ Hurlde
UNWIMH – Stayers
DDS – Triumph
Thistlecrack - GC

Any thoughts are welcome!

My first thought is if Thistlecrack doesn't win you're having a bad festival?

Haha, you could say that! I'm starting to worry about Native River, the others in the race don't particular seem like cause for concern, but it's the gold cup! Anything can happen!

you should have a good enough lump on thistlecrack to lay and guarantee some profit. Hes gonna go off short enough!

I agree SAMCRO, I will be readily on Betfair exchanges every day of the festival, doing a bit of trading and laying off some bets where possible, simply because of the amount of same horses I have done in different multiples.

I think that is how I'll be spending the mornings too on the Wed/Thur/Fri

First impression of the 10 pts treble you mentioned first is that is looking fantastic, at the moment. I'd certainly like to be sitting on the same voucher! The excitement of waiting on a novice to bring home a big sum in the Gold Cup will be incredibly exciting!
 
Guys i just wanted to say that this is my 2nd yr on this forum and its probably the best forum and ppl out there right now.
i was in a different forum a couple of yrs ago and jeez all they did was bitch and bite at each other.

this is my go to guide for insights from some very knowledgable people. So thank you all for making this a discussion forum rather than a bitchy forum.

Anyway back to the racing talk lol
 
Just popping a quick NRNB Lucky 15 on Bet365 Guys:

RSA - Might Bite 3/1
Ryanair - Sizing John 5/1
Triumph - Defi Du Seuil 11/4
Gold Cup - Native River 7/2

Anyone think there should be any more standout selections at decent prices (no 6/4s or shorter) instead of any of the above?

Death Duty in the AB @ 9/4. Not sure on Sizing John but that looks a very decent bet Aldie.

Doesn't Sizing John go Gold Cup route? Confirmed by Jessie I think.
 
I'm a jumps man, don't bet much on the flat, just love the jumps game. I came on here for the first time last year, and although I don't post that much it is before Cheltenham and Aintree though I bet during the jump season. Always some very very knowledgable people here, and have to admit to nicking the odd tip! I've even gone earlier this year on ante posts than previously. I'll wait nearer the day or on the day for the handicaps.

Keep up the good work ! :)
