    2026 Champion Hurdle

    So if Sir Gino wins fair and square on Sat, with conditions on Sat to suit TNL, then it really is ‘game over’ for any CH challenge from this side of the Irish Sea Will TNL still run in the CH if he is comprehensively beaten on Saturday, with conditions in his favour?……does Sir Gino go odds on...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Sir Ginos previous run at Cheltenham was on the New course and Saturdays race is also on the New course. Is the Old course, which the CH is run on, more of a stamina test?……and could Saturdays race therefore be inconclusive about his CH chances if he only wins by a couple of lengths? I am just...

    2026 Mares Chase

    Only if you accept Spindleberry last run RPR, which was significantly above what she had done before……….without it they are a lot closer methinks You may well be right about the JDG AP slips ending in the bin though…..she won’t be the first or last horse I have stuck with when form, markets and...

    2026 Mares Chase

    JDG was around 10lbs better over hurdles than Spindleberry and when they met at Leopardstown at the end of March 2024, over 2 1/2 miles, JDG won convincingly JDG is a year younger and fencing can narrow the ratings gap between them, however I agree that TBW and Kala Conti looks good graded form...

    The Cash Out option clearly works for Denise and I think they were the first to offer it…..First to market and all that and from the biggest online bookmaker by far (£3.5B), probably bigger than Flutters portfolio of bookmaker/accountants As to Hickey saying he disagrees with Cash Out for AP...

    I have said if for a fair while now, it’s a trend that continues where there’s an over reaction to a horse being beaten, normally first time up Not saying they will win, but as we well know, value will out in time Could be the cash out reasoning, either way I’ll take it! Horses off the top of...

    We may have to re evaluate our thinking around what offers and terms bookmakers normally offer and timing thereof, as clearly something smells different this season

    Jennings Tip…..Nooooo 😱😱 He will have to be a machine now in order to defy the subliminal extra weight!😳 Thankfully we have Cash Out available😂 Although negative trends will turn at sometime won’t they……..

    Non Runner No Bet (post #1 for updates)

    Looks like the WH delay around offering NRNB on the Cheltenham markets is the start of a trend……..as Denise and Sky would normally have offered the option on at least the championship races by now Surely someone will break ranks by the end of this week🤔

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    The price being so large in comparison to her campaign and form this season is making my head ache!😱 On form at the moment she has one horse to beat and they say you shouldnt be worried about one horse etc It is also said many times that course form, festival form…..is paramount for...

    What are we expecting from Bud Fox tomorrow in the opening race (hurdle) at Down Royal, especially when considering he was supposedly keeping to bumpers this season?

    Well at least JDG is now a lower price for the Mares Chase than the Mares Hurdle !😂

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Thanks RR Tomorrows novice chase is not exactly ‘competitive’ at all to be honest and the market suggests she will most likely lose her novice status - which if the case will contradict Willies public statement around his thinking for ‘reverting My feeling remains in that we are not being told...

    2026 Novice Chasers

    A few points from Willies note; 1) am I reading the above correctly in that if you run in a ‘beginners chase’ then whether you win or not, you automatically lose your novice status for the following year ? - that appears to be the implication. 2) so we now know what Willie thinks ‘very...

    When interviewed before Xmas about his horses poor performance he said something like ‘his horses won a lot of good handicaps last year and as a result he now had a lot of badly handicapped horses’ !🤔 Even if having some validity then this doesn’t explain his graded horses woeful performances...

    2026 Mares Chase

    Trends suggest you need to be a 150 plus horse to win the Mares Chase And although PA is only a few pounds short of that mark, after wins in handicaps, then at 10 years old, I struggle to believe she will beat the array of younger graded horses that look likely to lineup for the race

    Agree Nicky does know how to train a 2m Champion Hurdler and 2m Champion Chaser, of that there no doubt……but you could also say the same about Willie Just seems strange and could be the sign of things to come……or not😂
