Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

So is Vinndication as a class horse... he'd have been allowed as 'progressive' surely.

I'll give it a listen, is it a good one. I like Donn and Rory and Tom Stanley to be fair (have they binned Emmet Kennedy)?

Not sure what has happened to EK's links with Matchbook. The FFP is now sponsored by Unibet so I wonder if he had to cut ties with Matchbook as a result.

My favourite betting podcast was Only Balls and Horses (Oli Bell, Nick Goff & Tom Stanley) but they've stopped doing it due to other commitments.

Quick twitter search says he left as their head of Comms at the end of July.

Seems to be trying to style himself as a bigger media personality, fair play to him. I find him a tad grating at times (particularly a while ago he kept making loads of Me Too jokes- I mean, come on) - I mostly listen for Blake and the guests

Edit - he was at Matchbook when Unibet first started doing their sponsorship

He has name checked Betfair Exchanges a few times recently when I think about it.

I really like the On The Hunt podcast... I did see there is one called "Northen Gamblers" that I haven't listened to yet.

It really does make the commute to and from work enjoyable when I can zone out and listen to racing every day!

Mr Scooby. Do you know anything about the horse - Please God.
It's in the triumph market with a couple of firms and the ATR site has it as a once raced three yr old with Macaire.
Has anyone bought it ?
It looks well bred to me
 
And I'd like it to run in the UK, cos the name is awesome

cheers fella

No triumph thread but the form of ADJALI is red hot. Add to that the connections of hendo munir and suede he's going to be short when he wins on debut over here.

Gonna follow you in with the 33s on Adjali Scoob


Also had a £5 free bet with 365 tonight so lobbed it on a Tiger Roll/Might Bite Double. Just wanted to get them in early doors.

I won't bore you with all the details but his form is very good. Horses he's been just behind are finishing 1-2 In the top graded juvenile races. Backing it up all the time

I was diving into the form of Adjali a few weeks back but I was less impressed with the form other than Beaumec De Houelle - did I miss something?

I totally agree he'll be cut significantly once he dots up on debut with those connections in this race.

That will do for me Scooby
 
I'll be honest though, without being able to see the French races it's very difficult to form a proper opinion. The races are quite often small fields and not always a great deal of pace on. The other issue I have is how much a horses form can change from France to UK - is this because of massive improvement or were the horses being 'looked after' in France - how do you know? We Have A Dream had form of 5-4-4 in France but then went unbeaten in 5 races after switching to Nicky Henderson.

Beaumec de houlle
Pic d'orhy

Those 2 are rock solid.
Both followed up again 10 days ago at auteuil
There's also a line through doctor squeeze/ porto pollo, that ties it in. who are good graded horses in there own right, it's a strong 3yo crop imo.

Plus you've got Nichols horse quel destin who's been comfortably behind him twice.

Nichols is getting the short straw imo and buying the ones that have been primed to win and be sold. Where as the likes of munir and suede who have alot of horses with maccaire are getting the ones that are looked after

It certainly looks that way. Nicholls will have a bunch win early in the season who then fail to progress into contenders for the spring festivals. Admittedly most of the juveniles he gets are chasers for the future but he's not exactly mopping up the big novice chase races these days either.

Same with the novices the ammount of times Nichols buys a limited horse that in france finished infront of one that mullins has bought and turns out to be a top notcher for Willie is scary too. Of the top of my head

Black river - vautour
Mr mix - min ......
