Trying to find some positives out of the Nicky situation. All being well, he's going to go to Aintree with some fresh horses.

Jeriko du reponet and iberico lord didn't have the form to get close in either one of their races. People thought they might have improvement in them, but if what they showed before Cheltenham was the best that they're capable of then getting well beat shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Iberico lord is rated 15lbs and 25lbs off the front two in the champion hurdle, jerikos best run was probably about a 135 performance.
If Henderson trained the likes of Ballyburn, Lossiemouth and state man and they were being pulled up or getting beat 10 lengths then I would agree there's obviously something wrong. But there hasn't been a single run from any horse of his where I've thought "that horse has to have a virus, no other explanation".
So the fact he's pulling his better horses while admitting himself that they appear totally fine and there's no actual reason for it, is insane imo.
A new pin-up girl for Lobos :love_heart:

Seeing loads of tweets for Bet MGM, absolute con men.
How these regulated companies can get away with this stuff is scandalous.
The gambling commission are absolutely pointless.

They've settled Teahupoo as a non runner for me. Tried to join live chat and was over 480 in a queue...
I assume similar issues on Twitter?
Yeah I've seen some slips on Twitter of Teahupoo being shown as void also, no idea why.

Leading Trainer StandingsWhere is an easily accessible, accurate Trainers and Jockeys Cheltenham results table please.... found it .... why do I ask?
Leading Trainer Standings
Willie Mullins IRE 6 4 4
Henry de Bromhead IRE 2 3 1
Dan Skelton 2 - -
Kim Bailey 1 - -
Emmet Mullins IRE 1 - -
Joseph O’Brien IRE 1 - -
Gordon Elliott IRE - 3 3
I backed Henry at 10/1 without Willie before the festival ...and this morning (can be verified) I 'tipped' up Dan Skelton at 100/1 (and Emmet Mullins at 16/1 who is now 40/1)
Dan is in to 7/1, with the first 3 races tomorrow having the fav in each which is bananas!
Interestingly, Gordon Elliott is still 4/5 to win that market though
- 4/5 Gordon Elliott
- 11/8 Henry De Bromhead
- 7/1 Dan Skelton
- 33/1 Joseph
- 40/1 Emmet
- 100/1 Ben Pauling / Nicky / Paul / Gavin / Venetia
I will be gutted to lose to Gordon even though I'll be on pretty much every runner he has going forward :indecisiveness:
As ever, for the Foxhunters, wait till the day and back what Jane Mangan tells you to
Suppose it's fairly normal for withdrawals to not be working properly around this busy time?
No messages from the bookmaker or anything, just "uh oh withdrawal didn't go through and money is back in your wallet, try again later".
