You know what, I'm going to stick Yorkhill in to the mix and put that bet on, I think the move these last couple of days is significant, then when bitchy gives us one I'll put that on as well

I did that with the Thursday one. Did it but also changed one leg I wasnt convinced by.

I have probably backed most of these horses in singles and multi's already at bigger prices and 75% identical combos. Though I would probably enjoy it more if one of our FJ Yankees won at a smaller price. :)

Don't be a pessimist LR, I'm expecting them all to come in, be disappointed if at least 2 don't:devilish:

Have to bring your own thinking into this, I've put them all on but would change legs and add other Yankees to give more options, I must say though that I like the look of the Yankees thus far, also it takes away my personal bias from some bets. The other small point is that I would hate to see one of these puppies come in and not be a part of the celebrations

Oh no, I think they all have a massive chance of winning MMG. Just expressing I will be happy for all the FJ backers.:very_drunk:

Just went over his ante post diary and I'm note sure he has a single interest on Wednesday !

Probably the toughest day, which I was handed last year and failed if I can remember. I think Moon Racer was my only winner.

At a price I like Long Dog for the Neptune if YH doesn't run(unlikely). And maybe the PN well handicapped horse DDC in the Fred.

LR - when all yankees are agreed can you post on a separate thread please, I will look to back them all and fumbling through dozens pages won't be easy

I think Davy Russell put Long Dog up as part of his treble but I think he may have meant in the spuddie

Answered the wrong post, should have been in answer to LR's mention of Longdog

Obviously bitchy got busy and I need to find a 4th leg for the main yankee in the next hour, any suggestions ?
 
Ista the two horses on his antepost diary that run on Wednesday are

YANWORTH (Neptune) – 1pt e/w @ 9/1 (Boylesports, William Hill)
BALLYANDY (Champion Bumper) – 1pt e/w @ 12/1 (General)

A price crash on both but Ballyandy arguably still a bet ?


Others to consider might be Diego Du Charmil in the Fred Winter ?

I agree with Mayo on Ballyandy and DDC with the former to definitely run a good race. The later is an unknown atm.
 
Yep, good spot fellas, I'll get BallyAndy in the main yankee and get that on now.

Sadly no Wed yankee for me but if bitchy does post one here's hoping it includes 4 x 20/1 winners and everyone (except me) retires !

Ista, would you like me to place Wednesday Yankee bet on for you once Bitchy has posted and you send me your bank details for the winnings?
 
GLV, BallyAndy, Djakadam and Noble Endeavour, £5 e/w yankee pays almost £14k, useful.....

If you're happy doing that LR I'd be very grateful.
I've been doing £2.50 e/w on the daily yankees, is that OK ?

I will check in here tomorrow to post info from the preview evening but bitchy may not post until late tomorrow evening and I don't want to miss it
