Definitely , Miss is as good as a mile , but I was 6 from 7 yesterday in the I.t.v. 7.,,
Better than the usual 3 or 4 , during the flat season.😂.

….do you do Bet365 ‘6 horses’? it was an easy free bet yesterday finding winners. I do their footy one too, need a correct score today to get another free bet.

I lack the discipline needed to control the number of novice hurdlers I back so I use the free bets on them and don’t feel quite so daft :LOL:

Aintree abandoned.

Not surprising. With the wind we've got in the north west. Probably twice as bad in Liverpool near the coast
 
….really bad here in Liverpool, amazed to find my garden fence panels intact this morning :LOL:
I am ok where i am. It's a brick jungle. When i look out of my back window, i think Coronation Street is going off.

A good day for Baileys hot chocolates and reading through my OJA

Looks like a number of bookmakers have decided Gaelic Warrior is not coming over for the King George.

I’ve also posted Patrick Mullins article about the stable ‘newcomers’.

bet365 have removed all Cash Out options for Wodhooh in the Mares Hurdle but she remains 4/1 clear favourite in their book whereas she is now down to 10/1 for the Stayers and Cash Out still available. The mind of the bookmaker !!!
 
Cant see Wodhooh going Stayers. Even if she stays 3 miles i cant see her getting up the hill,And the race is looking fucking hot at the moment even without her.

The Long Walk Hurdle is the first step ..👍.

‘She's been an incredible mare for us and she turns up every time. She won the Ascot Hurdle first time out last season and the plan is to begin at Ascot again, but we might do it a bit different this year and maybe start her off later in the Long Walk Hurdle. It would be her first run over three miles and would give us an idea of what we'll do for the rest of the season. If she won, you have the option of going down the Stayers' Hurdle route, and she'd be getting the 7lb allowance, which could be interesting. She won the Mares' Hurdle last season, so that would be in your mind too, but if she won the Long Walk then the Stayers' would definitely be an option.’

Hopefully she hoses up in the Long Walk confirms her stamina and the talk of a Stayers bid increases, then she drifts for the Mares

Have some nice vouchers on her for the Stayers so hoping the Mares hurdle drift continues to a price I can get a cover on...

Aye, I'd say if she wins the Long Walk it'd be fairly certain she goes Stayers. And if she's beaten in the Long Walk* I wouldn't be too keen on her for the Mares anyway to be honest.

*subject to opposition, conditions and style of defeat 😂
