    Especially when you consider how Henry campaigns his horses. Of his 25 winners the last ten years, only 5 were unbeaten that season. 3 of them were Honeysuckle, 1 was Quixlios who he hadn't trained prior to Cheltenham, and one was Bob Ollinger, who was exceptionally fortunate, 1 was Air of...

    Good idea Q, I always love form angles but I personally struggle to follow form slightly, so good to have some heads up communally

    agreed. doesn't seem to get on the right side of the handicapper any more. his graded horses either turn out to be not go enough or have a habit of performing abysmally at the festival when well backed

    It's a question of positioning isn't it, which is a consequence of how conservatively Nicholls started to train his. Presuming I have the cash for a more famous trainer If I'm an owner who wants Cheltenham winners, I'm probably going Hendo, cos if I have a championship horse, he'll prioritise...

    The Allaho/Indo related double paid well the next year as a result though, so long term we have a lot to thank Champ for

    Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

    Any baseball heads in the house? Whilst the Dodgers will inevitably repeat, and I dearly want the Brewers to finally do it in post season, I feel it's the season for a left field selection. Whist part of me thinks the White Sox are a each way to nothing bet cos the American League is so weak...

    Dunno if you can actually roll it up, or have to do it manually, but the 9/2, 5/1 about Pierre Sage to be the next manager to be sacked is not to be sniffed at. I can't give too many details and betray my source, but the hierarchy lost confidence after game 2, and have already lined up his...

    Hurricane Fly was the horse that got me into racing. Had a real case of Mohammed Ali about him didn't he. Considered a flashy poser when young, it was his gritty victories when he was older than cemented him as one of the best to ever do it

    C Counter point - we have a cognitive bias here because on here, mostly people gamble safely, predominantly on sport and do well. That is not the main focal point of these operators. Let's take Entain for example who have the biggest retail footprint in the UK. They have around 2,300 retail...
