Happy new Year to everyone 🍺

Thanks to everyone for their contributions this year, for what is for many the mainstay of their day during the winter 👍

As I have said before on this Forum, let’s not forget the journey on our way to backing winners at the festival, as it provides many interesting and entertaining hours !

Here’s hoping 2026 will be profitable and healthy for everyone…..cheers 🍺
 
Anyone know what time Hills go NRNB?

I see they have added all the races but yet to go NRNB

Are you sure they are going nrnb today? The race on Boxing Day that originally signified this (2:50 Aintree) had its name changed to something else.

Ohh I didn't know that.

Hopefully they do :ROFLMAO:

Find it strange that they've added all races just today if they werent planning on going NRNB.
 
I searched racing post to see if they had any recent articles about WH non runner no bet but nothing there. Maybe I read it on here. Have asked chat gpt but it linked to an article about last year. Will just have to wait it out. It was midday this time last year when they launched it.
 
So a friend is at a wedding in Ireland and has been on a table with someone who works at Henderson yard.

Has been saying Lulamba is the banker of the festival....because KDB is out for the season and it's not been released to the public.


I know some on here have connections, is this drunken tales or is there some truth in it? Being kept until DRF isn't too different to last year so haven't been too worried about the absence yet.
Wouldn't be surprised, worked with someone whos niece was at Mullins ages ago, remember knowing one of the high profile horses was OFTS in November, it got announced near the end of January, not saying this is a fact with Kopek, what I'm saying is they'll be a few that are injured right now that are highly thought of, they hurt themselves so often half the battle is keeping them sound, getting them fit, easy stuff, stop them from being stupid, impossible.

Appreciate you passing this on HF.

I'd say its nonsense stuff

If that was the case, the lay side on bfx would be hoovered up everytime something appears.
 
Ok I’ll bite as I’m hungry for a bit of value….…pray tell?
No inside knowledge but a couple that really took my eye. I’m going to wait before saying anything if that’s alright to see if their prices hold when NRNB is offered.

Just took Moneygarrow at 33/1 for the pipe before NRMB whilst I was in there. Happy to take the chance with that one. Will have to have a good luck when I get home. Starbucks is calling now though :D
 
Will they not shave them a pt or 2 at least? Or hoping they make a few mistakes?
Yeah my point was though, I'm not THAT bothered about taking shorter price on a horse I'm confident on being aimed somewhere. I did it with Kargese last year, think I took about 12s but then had another 20 on the day. If I know I have the safety net of money back I can live with it in today's markets
