Yeah.
I like sean boyce as a presenter, but his habit of "out there" tips does my head in.
Probably living off some random tip he gave in the last 10 years still.

That's like me on losing 100/1 tips :disturbed:
 
Codd's an idiot also, his column on ATR has been embarassing and now he's on about white fences and losing half a length per fence :highly_amused:
 
Honestly, 5 mins of FJ is worth more than 90 mins of this stuff. And to think two years ago I was lapping this stuff up!

Take that back... he's on the Blood Destiny train too :chuncky:

Just tuned in, the BetFred boosts are awful, would think all of them would be bigger on the day at some point.

Agree.


Posted them in the bookie specials but they aren't special are they!






They're right on Honeysuckle. A feckin dual Champion Hurdle winner not defending her crown. Mental. This sport is in the bin.

Matt Chapman absolutely spot on here versus Codd.

Was very much in agreement a few weeks ago, but I’ve kind of mellowed now, and will be happy if she goes out a winner.

Brainwashed IMO :biggrin-new: :love_heart:

Her going out with a win? Who cares? Grade 1 in name only.

Don't care how deep the Mares race looks, get rid of it and the Champion Hurdle has Epatante and Honeysuckle in.... 3 time winners.

Stayers gets Marie's Rock....

The others have to slot in.




Big picture. It's a fucking shambles isn't it? :culpability:
 
Ha, I am a bit sentimental Kev, nothing to do with that fact that I’ve backed Honey for the Mares and Marie’s Rock fir the Stayers :glee:

Will Boycie please shut up, taking up a lot of oxygen putting up long shots that have already shown they are not good enough.

Haha, understood :cheerful:




Codd's smirk then about Elliott bouncing back this year.....

….ATR Preview; Sean Boyce (SB), Matt Chapman (MC); Kevin Blake (KB); Jamie Codd (JC):

Champ Hurd;
JC - can’t knock CH.
KB - fair to say CH is best. Likes State Man but he’s not as good as CH.
MC - Epatante e/w NRNB @ 33-1 if she turns up, but probably only one place behind CH & SM
SB - Not so Sleepy e/w in w/o market.

Champ Chase;
MC - Edwardstone.
KB - Edwardstone should’ve won last time. Not sure Chelt is Energ track. Edwardstone.
JC - White boards made a difference to Energ last time. He’ll go the CC & win it.
SB - Hunch is Energ is the best.

Stayers;
KB - HBTL tricky to work out, pessimistic about him. Picks Teahupoo. Asterion talented @ 40-1 (unlikely runner), not sure Marie’s will stay.
JC - Ground only worry for Teahupoo but its wide open & he also loves FP.
MC - Flooring Porter, massively overpriced.
SB - Likes Marie’s.

GC
JC - Conflated will run, could run a great race. Worry about GDC jumping early in the race. Could be a great race.
KB - Could go wrong early for GDC but thinks he could be a superstar. Likes Stattler as an alternative.
MC - GDC bombproof. Minella Indo e/w.
SB - Conflated.

Sup
KB - Intention to run High Def. He’s talented, well capable but can’t put him up. Still with FV.
JC - FV doing too much last time. Likes Hunters Yarn.
MC- FV a good thing. Charity Bet selection.
SB - Tamurras.

Bally
MC - Gaelic Warrior.
JC - Good Land. Champ Kiely has a chance.
KB - Gaelic Warrior. Mullins might use horse to run alongside his right to keep him straight.
SB - Am Mike.

AB
SB - Saint Palais 100-1 (Charity Bet selection).
MC - Favori.
JC - Favori has a chance. Really likes Search for Glory (Charity Bet selection).

Triumph
KB - Gala will beat Lossie again.
JC - Blood Destiny, helluva performance last time.
MC - Lossie miles the best.

JC - Gerri a helluva horse.
MC - Thyme Hill, much classier than Gerri.
SB - Gerri.

Turn

JC - Honey.
MC - Love Envoi
KB - Brandy

Ryanair
SB - Shishkin
KB - Shishkin

Possibly the dumbest comment from any preview evening yet,and that's from some stiff competition,go back and watch what happens to Energumene at the last fence in the Clarence House,when they go left or right on take off and are forced not to they take off all wrong,such a tactic wouldn't stop the habit,it'd just make his & the jockeys job much harder.
