    If you want a bet of £500 they will take you through the safe gambling lecture, they'll take your name, address etc and no doubt you are added to a regulator database of people 'at risk'. It's a joke. I'm told the machines re-set every 10 mins so if you were to have £400 and are prepared to...

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    I think this is exactly right. Myretown wins at Haydock and gets a mark for the National he misses Cheltenham and King of Answers slots into the Ultima...

    100%. One of the toughest, most talented, reliable and consistent UK horses ever. Just a shame for him they let the Irish over every March....

    2026 Juveniles

    I'd be fairly sure she won't be seen in a Triumph. Won well yesterday so is clearly a talented horse but I think they've realised she hasn't improved enough to justify taking her chance in a G1, especially as Hendo has Fantasy World and you'd have to think JP knows how unlikely it is his filly...

    2026 Juveniles

    Last chance to snap up the 12s Fantasy World for the Triumph this morning, is going to be a very warm order in his hurdling debut at Musselburgh and any sort of win likely to see his Triumph odds shorten. NRNB insurance a must though....

    Apologies if I've missed it but what's your connection to the horse/yard ?

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    @YoungHustler has copied the trainer quote for everyone, saying the plan is to go back to the M Pipe, so if anyone has backed him in any other race and has the ability to cashout it makes sense to do so. Fair play @YoungHustler for the heads up...

    ‘26 FRED WINTER Juv H’cap Hd

    I get the thinking and it does look an obvious play, but Hendo hasn't had a runner in the race since 2020 when Palladium was pulled up, is this a race that he 'targets', does he know what it takes to win here ? Clearly a master with Supreme and Triumph horses but they're obviously G1s, it...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I think owners just accept the man is a genius and send horses there on his terms. He wants to win as many big races as possible, he has multiple horses good enough in each division so has to shuffle the pack to accommodate them all but it will be on the basis the operation comes first, not one...

    Win Today & Festival

    Yeah that makes sense. I had a 33/1 voucher (National) and cashed it after he failed to win last time, the only way he gets in the National is by winning on Sat so the 125/1 has to make more sense than the race only market....

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    You would think so but sadly it's just not the case with Mullins. Unless you're JP when you send your horses to him you're effectively a bill payer, Mullins will decide where all his horses go and because he's such a genius at placing his horses every owner wants to send theirs to him...

    Would have to be the horse of a lifetime to be the first 5yo winner of the Arkle since allowances were removed and then become just the second 6yo Gold Cup winner in 60 odd years...

    2026 Gold Cup

    That might be true but when that race was created there was a huge UK domination of the festival, Ireland would often walk away with 3 or 4 winners, in the last 15/20 years there's been mass migration of UK (based) owners investing in horses and basing them in Ireland, plus a swathe of new...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I agree, 144 for debut is a hell of a mark, given normal improvement he would have to go very very close, but as will all things novice hurdle, Willie Mullins and JP it's unlikely we'll know which event he'll take in for another 3 weeks....
