Does anybody know how to find out what prices horses were historically....

FOr example, I want to know what price Coo Star Sivola was 48 hours BEFORE his run last year. I can obviously see the SP.... but I want to know (if possible) and analyse what money came late and what prices were available (with a view to finding prices that WILL shorten).

Long shot..as I have never heard of this data being available... other than me starting to collate it myself with a view to next year.

Not aware of anything myself Kev , I actually started to do this this season , Just writing down the Key prices in respective
Races ,Supreme, arkle etc. . Every couple of months , Just thought I'd do it this year ,see how
much the prices change and if the timing is significant ?.
 
Surely f you have a skybet or 3665 account your better off taking prices asap as these firms have gone nrnb and bog for the last month or so
 
Why not open a skybet or bet3665 account? They have been nrnb and bog for the last month all so on all Cheltenham races, can guarantee that some horses will shorten up big time in the next week
 
Kev the best I can think is the racing post typically shows what the horse opened at in its notes online

Gone back in on alboum photo RSA ew nrnb bog 1/4 now at 10/1

Followed him in from 3 figures on the exchanges
33/1 16/1 now 10/1 can't stop backing him for this.
And very rare I'd follow down the price.

He's my cover for Shattered Love, and by cover I don't mean a saver, he's slowly becoming worth more than Shattered Love....

Interesting on the RP Podcast they pretty much all agreed that the RSA was more of a stamina test than the 4 miler, if that's the case then dare I say, as I have been against him all season but that brings Presenting Percy into the fold!
 
1. Finians Oscar rsa blaaaaaaah 😠
2. Altior. Is he the next big thing? I hope so, but I've always thought physically he could be fragile. No doubting the class.
3. Monbeg Notorius , National Hunt Chase 33/1

Good to know quevega. Have you not heard of "sticking a pin in the paper?" :highly_amused:

Some very good looking selections there too at this stage!

Yep, a pin might be less time consuming for sure, and after all the work before the festival (which i do enjoy) to be fair. Maybe I'd not feel as fed up of it all by wednesday morning (after being up till 4am round cheltenham bars that is)
 
I tried writing down all my AP bets but I discovered these free £5 bets Sky give me, that in previous years I didn't bother with and it was only when Kev show us his portfolio last year it showed the value of free bets (it's basically a free £250 bet), but of course I've been using these for big price trebles/accas that all contradict with previous bets, makes recording these impossible...

I approach this by picking out my 3 best fancies and back a treble every week with the free bet - regardless of the prices... This year is Samcro, Un De Sceux and Cause of Causes. All in all i've got £85 on this treble, ranging from 250/1 down to 28/1.

Obviously this isn't for everyone as you're effectively putting all your eggs in one basket (well 3 baskets), but it's a free bet at the end of the day and it could be VERY good!

Yep, if my Sky account survives that might be the strategy for 2019, cheers
 
I use my weekly free bet with skybet for a £5 yankee (£4.95 technically) and my Coral bet to top up a single
I fancy.

Just puts me a few hundred quid extra onto my Cheltenham begging if I start in early November.


Got some good Yankees with chances from Christmas time that I’m hopeful of a nice return in.

Yes I certainly don't use them in a "sexy" way when I get them. I've got £5 from Sky and £10 from 365when I've logged in tonight... not decided yet but I'd consider just singles on Road to Respect, or other horses that I like that my return isn't as high as I'd like.....as they do "add up" over the year.

This year wouldn't be as good as last year as quite a few went on Douvan in the CC at 3/1 for quite a long time... not dead yet but I'm not expecting a run - and I feel I've "saved" money using them on a horse like him, as if he was a NR I'd be losing a % of stake.

If this comes up...see ya laters peasants!:highly_amused:
 
I think this years Gold Cup could well be te most open in many many years.
I have two fancies. Both at bigger prices
Definitely Red. I believe that if this was trained by Mullins, Henderson or Elliot then it'd be a 6/1 shot. Jumps like a stag. Gutsy and can settle anywhere in a field. I'm on at 25,s down to 16,s.
Total Recall. I'm of the opinion that this guy probably didn't have the Gold Cup as his target at the start of this campaign. However I'm thinking that his trainer, who might just know the time of day, has though that due to the openness of the field he should take his chance. I'm on at 33,s down to 16,s.
Any thoughts amigos??
 
Can’t have Total Recall, a nose victory over Whisper carrying over a stone less is not a GC performance

If he continues to improve maybe next year but a race too far this year
