Anyone else think this is a bookie trying to get free money offering up such short odds either way?

11/4 champion win or lose ain’t that bad though
Not bothered personally cos they don’t let me play specials
But she’d be that price to win if declared

Why ‘free money’?

Surely it’s a great opportunity for large stake backers to hedge their AP stake without the horse even having to win the alternative race?

Should have made my point a bit clearer Q, the odds as they suggest it’s a done deal that she goes Mares so folk may start backing her for that race on the back of this.

Agree the 11/4 is decent if you thought she went champion, I was more implying bluffing people into thinking it’s a done deal she goes mares.

Understand 👍🏿
Definitely paddy playing games
Hickey was admitting to fishing the other day and how it can be volatile depending on the marked accounts and how they sway things
 
Gino got infection now
Not ideal

Can anyone get large stakes on with paddy power !? 🤣
 
With the way this race has feel apart can see NH letting CH take his chance here.
 
Golden Ace and Poniros for me on this. So taken with that run in triumph and then at the DRF. Think they are both amazing ew bets! I was on ponners at 66 and golden ace at 16s. Then at every odds its been since :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:
 
When he gets lapped at Southwell you'll get double figures for the CH, just be patient.

Pains to say it but I do think if it goes well at Southwell then Constitution will run in the Champion. Sounds like he's having extensive training with Yogi re his jumping in between going in and out of stalls. All of this could even confuse him further or freshen him right up for a proper go at the big one again. If Lossy did defect again then he'd be the only one I'd want ho win. Let's face it, unless BDA beats her Cheltenham hoodoo then the rest are absolute pants.

I don't think they'd be persisting with CH if they didn't intend on running him at cheltenham to be honest

I really dont understand why he is running at southwell

What do they gain from it?
 
Horse gets a day at the races where he gets to come home relaxed,look at him going to post at Newcastle,watch his ears and how hes holding himself in front,he was terrified, thats why hes going, for a good experience.

Is getting a face full of kick back going to be a good experience?
