He’s 20/1 to win next years Gold Cup as a novice

WHo is offering that? 20/1 isn't a good price for him to even run in the Gold Cup next year, let alone win it :highly_amused:
 
Skybet

They’ve got him at 6s for the RSA aswell

Which again you couldn’t be certain he runs in

He isn't going to be a backable price ever again is he :highly_amused:

My thoughts exactly. They have been careful to look after him so far, can’t see them throwing him in the Gold Cup as a Novice.
 
I think he will run in the RSA next year as he will only be 7, then gold cup 20/1 with request a bet and in november he was 40/1 to win the 2020 gold cup but I think that offer has gone.. Would be worth a few bob at 20s if he misses the Gold Cup next year and wins the RSA.

I also like the look of 4/1 to be unbeaten in 2018, he needs to win another race after, but if he wins the Ballymore he could go to aintree or have a race in Ireland but maybe they will wrap him up?

Even if they did wrap him up, he'd be out again before 31st Dec 2018 in a novice chase so that wouldn't be worthwhile IMO. I imagine he'd be short but it isn't worth waiting at 4/1.... you'll find a better 4/1 shot any day of the week...

I did have 2 pts on Samcro to win the Ballymore 2018, RSA 2019 and Gold Cup 2020 at 250/1 but more for novelty than anything else :highly_amused:

That sounds like a great little bet, 6/4 bally then 7s RSA and if he DOES win both I couldn't see him more than 6s or 7s for the Gold Cup.. Guess if I added the King George I'll get 750/1?
 
I'm going to look very silly :highly_amused: . But I was honestly thinking he could have possibly put it up to Samcro in the 2m6 race at leopardstown

Was beaten a long long way out.

Cashed out the ballymore bet at full value.

The 2017 Cheltenham Festival is on RUK now if anyone is interested.
 
Just came on to say that.... interests me massively :highly_amused:

I'm all over SFP in this. Holywell has an outside chance but can't have last year's winner UTPT at all:devilish::highly_amused:

I think that was my thinking on this race.
 
Noooooooooo how did SFP lose that!

In hindsight, did Heskin go too soon. Has to be on the shortlist for the Ultima again.

Singlefarmpayment, Noble Endeavor (Davy Russell Chase Handicap - forum all over it!) and Holywell!

SFPM won haha


Really fancy Yanworth here.... unbeaten this season, alwasy does enough... if he's there at the last he'll grind them down
 
I've got Moon Racer - this has been the plan all season. Would have pissed the Supreme and should go well here!!

Aww unlucky with MR - I fancied him Supreme too. Some horse that BVD! 4/1 for next season's.... that looks great value
 
Damn it!

Some eyecatchers there....

The New One was flat to the boards and is crying out for a step up in trip (Stayers next year?), Petit Mouchior might improve for a fence and Footpad could be the JLT horse for next season :devilish:

I'm taking that - Faugheen will never see the track again!

No chance Footpad or PM will be winning chases next season.... the second season over hurdles hardly ever works FM...

TNO always gets out paced, trainer clueless.

5 pts BVD 4/1 I've had - Faugheen is gonea s you say. :(
 
I could do this all night Kev but I'm getting grief off the Mrs. I'll check in later to see if you're winning:highly_amused::encouragement:
