For a couple reasons this is the first time in 10 years I've not got a single a/p bet for the festival.

Not too sad either, as have been following it a bit the last week or so, and can imagine some of you guys must have been doing somersaults with what has transpired.

Have had enough stress without that which comes with a long range book for Chelts :disturbed:

Wanted to pop on and wish everyone the best of luck next week, and I'll be cheering the Goffer home for you all on Tuesday afternoon :applouse:

What a lovely surprise

Hope you're well!!!!

Just a heads up for everyone in case you've got any tinkering to do, Coral seem to be standout on a few horses so worth checking there if you wouldn't normally :encouragement:
 
Anybody still waiting on day 1 nrmb’s from hills. Seems to be the enhanced priced ones I still haven’t got back. For example I got my money back yesterday for a bet on Ballyburn in the supreme but have a 7/4 enhanced Ballyburn in the supreme still sitting there.

No point ever trying their live chat they are useless.
 
Anyone get Free bets back from sky nrnb? 99% they usually return these

Wish they said the same when I turned up at special assistance at the airport :tickled_pink:

I'd definitely not be, had I had to endure all the chaos I've seen last week... 2023 was enough, and think an antepost book might have just sent me to the madhouse!

Bearing up though, thanks mate. Hope life is good, and glad to see all is firing over here as well!

Didn't book this week off for the first time since I've been full time employed... regretting that decision right now :highly_amused:

Got to do something with the remaining 73 minutes of work...

Not sure I like your tone that you're implying my million to one 5 fold isn't a banker though.

Apologies. Sounds like 70 minutes deciding what you're spending the million on to be fair.
 
Someone give me a face splitter :torn:

It won't be the best out there, but I'm still dreaming of my 0.1pt Ew free four folds, all horses at 14/1 for 5000pts and over a years salary

Salvador Ziggy, you oughtta know/cantico, facile Vega and conflated.

Also got the 0.25pt Ew free treble without the bumper horses for 800pts

A boy can dream...

Patrick mullins gets a lot of stick on here.
he can sometimes look a little unorthodox compared to other jockeys but to receive such negative criticism when he's actually not that bad is odd.

Just for context in the past 5 seasons he has a 34% strike rate, paul townend has 36%.
this season Patrick has a 46% strike rate, Paul townend has 41%

Danny mullins 10% and 11%

It helps that half his rides are odds on shots in bumpers

He wins on steering jobs and lots of them

How many times has he given a horse a ride where you've thought jeez that was a top ride that wouldn't have won with another jockey on

Danny however is very capable of winning a race when he's not on the best horse

Patrick is a very good amateur jockey, he should not be getting second pick in grade 1s for willie over Danny who is an excellent professional jockey
