I like that price

Always wary of any horse that’s been in the National the year before

However 40/1 is a good price

Is anyone allowing any race bets in multiples?

 

[archie]

As you know, I think that this is a madcap exploit because we don't know targets and who knows which horses will stay fit. However, if you must have a bet on a horse that will still be the same price in 3 months time, I'd suggest that 25/1 Delta Work in the NH Chase is not unreasonable. Course form and likely to be vying with (the inferior) Blow By Blow for the staying races.

 

[cpfcpatriot]

I like both the horses proposed above and if we are looking at larger prices for an each way bet, I’d like to throw either Slate House or Paloma Blue at the Arkle with a slight preference for the latter.

Usual Festival ground and a master trainer of chasers make 16s look very interesting with an average crop of 2 mile hurdlers stepping up from the novice division to fences.

I’m thinking we make this yankee an each way bet? With the two early names thrown out being huge prices, it seems a sensible idea to go for some each way value.

Perhaps this is the month I can talk you all into Monalee for the Ryanair at 25s if it’s each way as well.

I'd be happy with that M.o.M.

Got these two on my radar too cpfcpatriot , slate house was posted on p.power at 33-1 , but not seen it recently,
P.blue 25-1 W.hill, again not seen it recently.

 

[Middle_Of_March]

Names mentioned so far for an each way yankee this month:
Annibale Fly - GC 40/1
Delta Work - NH Chase 25/1
Monalee - Ryanair 25/1
Slate House - Arkle 16s
Paloman Blue - Arkle 16s


Any more names for the hat?

 

[Kevloaf]

This'll probably muddy the water but as its only names in a hat....

Ballyward - NH Chase 20/1
Al Boum Photo - Gold Cup 33/1
Willoughby Court - Ryanair 25/1
Mengli Khan - Arkle 25/1
Call Me Lord - Stayers Hurdle 20/1
Annamix - Supreme 20/1

Alright, maybe not Annamix :highly_amused:

 

[Middle_Of_March]

I’ll give my views on those Kev

- Ballyward - Id still prefer Blow By Blow or Delta Work for that
- ABP - Couldn’t have him for a Gold Cup that may be a top class renewal
- Willoughby Court - Good price. I did hope I’d finally be able to convince you all for Monalee each way
- Mengli Khan - No arguments here. Good price. I’d have him in.
- Call Me Lord - Couldn’t back anything antepost for that. Perhaps Faugheen will go off 4/7 for that anyway
- Annamix - I’m against everything in the supreme at this stage.


I would put Mengli Khan in from those names Kev and then maybe Monalee, Delta Work and Annibale Fly as the other three spots at this stage if it was me.

Obviously it’s a group decision but someone needs to lead the discussion. I hope nobody thinks I’m taking over.

 

[MrMcGoldrick]

ITCF has been bandied about for the Champ hurdle, any thoughts on this, big price given how highly thought of he is.

 

[MrMcGoldrick]

Glad your taking charge mom, the thread has gone very quiet with everything else that's going on.

 

[cpfcpatriot]

If we are considering Mengli, I still think we have to look hard at Paloma Blue who ran very well on terrible ground and will improve for fences with HdB.

 

[Deleted member 4957]

I'm starting to come around to Summerville Boy in the Champion.
There is a fear he's ground dependent but Tuesdays generally have more juice in the ground if the pipes are turned on, I'm also coming around to the idea that last season's Supreme could turn out to be a decent renewal, first six home all very good animals...

 

[Kevloaf]

Glad your taking charge mom, the thread has gone very quiet with everything else that's going on.

With 6000+ posts in less than 2 years I am allowed a break right?

I’ll give my views on those Kev

- Ballyward - Id still prefer Blow By Blow or Delta Work for that

I don't dislike either shout for the Gigginstown horses but DW or BBB could end up in the RSA even if they are looking good enough to win the 4 miler. You won't need me to highlight the number of horses that Gigginstown decide the target for, and although I am in the Samcro RSA camp, that seems to be the minority at this stage, so picking the Gigginstown horse for the 4 miler at this stage is more difficult than is perhaps being touted. Don Poli, Dounikos spring to mind straight away as horses that the trainers thought would be best suited to the race and didn't run in it (with contrasting results!) but to pick a Gigginstown horse for this race, at this stage, is not worthwhile at anything south of 50/1.
- So Ballyward, I think is not top class and Mullins likes to have a good one for Patrick. Obviously picking a target for a Mullins/Wylie horse is no easy task either (Black Hercules!) .... but I thought his name was worth bringing up if we're talking about horses where we aren't certain on the targets in that race.

- ABP - Couldn’t have him for a Gold Cup that may be a top class renewal

It may be a top class renewal, but I know persoanlly I've thought that for 4 years in a row and in highsight, it never is.
I am a HUGE fan of Presenting Percy, and have backed him and Monalee for the Gold Cup already... but I do think ABP is very closely matched to Monalee (the G1 Flogas with less than 1L between them) means ABP's price is too big for me in this race...

- Willoughby Court - Good price. I did hope I’d finally be able to convince you all for Monalee each way

If I knew where Monalee was going, I'd be there with you. I was championing the Monalee for the JLT for most of the season, I think they made the wrong decision, and I fear they will again!
WIlloughby Court did disappoint me behind Yanworth behind Yanworth when the orange beast reveresed the form however I adored Neon WOlf, so massively upgrade WC on that and think he'd have been a huge player in the JLT (and therefore Ryanair).
I'd prefer Monalee to WC probably if they were both running though, but price dependant.

- Mengli Khan - No arguments here. Good price. I’d have him in.

The only thing putting me off is that he is flat bred, but I think Gordon is good enough to break - interested to see how much of an issue people think that'll be? For me, if Gordon think's he's a chaser, than he's a chaser.

- Call Me Lord - Couldn’t back anything antepost for that. Perhaps Faugheen will go off 4/7 for that anyway

I checked his price and he's 10/1 in places. Crikey that is short. I'll never have an ante-post penny on Faugheen but it is a 'windy' race to have a strong opinion in, albeit I have put my case forward for Penhill already :highly_amused:

- Annamix - I’m against everything in the supreme at this stage.

Completely agree, that was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion... ALTHOUGH I have backed him with a couple of free bets!:very_drunk:

My initial reaction to that is to disagree about the Supreme... however that is just because of how I viewed it going IN to the race so I am still open-minded.

I certainly think Summerville Boy is a decent each way bet for the CH, as with any amount of natural improvement he is the second best British CH prospect already!

I do think 2x Champion Buveur D'air at 3/1 is still a better bet though. His price is somewhat insulting (if you didn't factor in getting there)

Wasn't having a go Kev, just thought with Ascot then the World cup this has taken a back seat, so mom resurrected it just before the finish line.

I know, I know I actually didn't realise just how far through June we were.

With the prices we're looking at in this one, its easy to pick holes in most.... so I'm happy if we do take a flyer, and we should allow MoM to have Monalee in the Ryanair for this yankee for sheer persistance:triumphant:
