    Cheltenham November Meeting

    Few early fancies Saturday 1.45 - From The Horse's Mouth Podcast Novices' Chase - Weveallbeencaught @ 9/1 Sam chose WABC vs Flooring Porter and it looked like he needed the run IMO. NTD loves WABC and has likened him to Imperial Commander. Not suggesting thats what he'll become for one...

    Arc de Triomphe

    I've been all over Hukum for a while now @ 6/1. B365 are now best priced 11/2 and he's as short as 9/2 elsewhere. At 4 (2021) he looked like a very solid Group 3 horse, nothing more. That busy season plus his stop start career has led to him being the most underrated flat horse in training IMO...

    St Leger

    Continuous @ 4/1 for me. Unbeaten at 2, very good 3rd in the Dante on debut after 230 days off (surprised he went there without having a run), not sure what happened in France a few weeks later (maybe came too soon) but he ran a blinder at Royal Ascot behind King Of Steel, beating Arrest 9L in...

    Melbourne Cup

    Most of us are smashing Vauban left, right and centre ( Lobos leading the charge) so thought it made sense to create a thread for the race to discuss here, especially with the weights out shortly.

    Dubai World Cup

    Storm Damage @ 9/1 (B365) in the Godolphin Mile looks like one to side with to get the weekend off to a flyer. The big question is will be cope with a mile on dirt the way he does on turf? I think he will. He won on debut on the AW and is by Night Of Thunder who produced a UAE Guineas winner...

    Cheltenham November Meeting

    Great three days coming up, really looking forward to it. Cheltenham meetings warrant their own thread IMO. 1.10 - feels like pin the tail on the donkey. 20 runner handicap with 7lbs separating the lot. Not my kind of race at all, but I'll have a bet because I'm there! The obvious ones are...

    Prix De L'Opera

    Burgarita @ 14/1 with Skybet looks savage EW value to me. Most firms have her priced between 5-9's, and when Love, Teona, La Petite Coco etc all go elsewhere, the market is going to cut up massively, and 14/1 EW will be a distant memory. She's a Sea The Stars filly who ran an absolute blinder...

    With a massive weekend of action at Leopardstown, plus Sandown and Wetherby, and Fairyhouse on Monday, what does the ideal weekend look like for your ante post Cheltenham positions? (not what you are backing this weekend, just in terms of influencing ante post bets) Who do you want to win? Who...

    The Favourites Bin

    We have a banker’s thread and we naturally spend lots of time talking about favourites on individual threads, but I think we need a place to properly bash current favourites and put them in the proverbial ‘bin’. It can sometimes be daunting (present company excluded :05.18-flustered:) to fly in...

    Owner / Trainer / Jockey - Handicap Analysis - 2008 - 2019
