I work with someone who when he split with his missus got a text from his dad which was a string of laughing emojis, a few weeks later the dad invited the sons ex and her mother to stay with him in his holiday home in the south of france, the son asked him WTF he was playing at, he got back a text that said "Mother & daughter = make your eyes water"

His dad was a bit of a cnut by all accounts :ROFLMAO:

In light of the above then it makes me think of some of Dessies performances, both visual, clock and weight carrying and how on earth did he keep coming back time after time and year after year - rare
Yep. Even more rare in the modern day. Galopin (plus his connections) deserve a lot of credit for how he's turned up decorated he's become without ever pushing himself to breaking point.
 
“Poniros is going to run either in the International at Cheltenham or the Irish Champion Hurdle the following weekend,” Graham added.

“One of those two races will be his reappearance, and based on how he runs we can decide what race, if any, to target at the Cheltenham Festival.

“If he doesn’t run up to his weight, we may just go back to the Flat with him because he is rated 91 on the Flat, but there’ll be no decision made until he goes either to Cheltenham or Leopardstown.”

Comes out, wins the Irish CH and sends Lossie off to the Mares.
Nah, can’t happen…. can it?

Has something been said about Lossiemouth going to the Mares rather than the Champion. B365 have removed Cash Out for all my bets with Lossiemouth in the Champion and Oddschecker is a sea of red for the Champion and a sea of blue for the Mares. O woe is me !!!! :mad:
 
Hills were first to go 6/1 and now the ‘market guide’ Betfair/PP/Sky have gone 6/1

Interestingly Betfair/PP/Sky are best price for the Mares Hurdle for Wodhooh at 15/8

Someone’s said or heard something about Lossiemouth or someone’s ***king with us !😡
 
U might think im stupid but 16/1 constitution hill for this race is imo outrageous value , I still
Think he will go here and nico if getting the choice will pick sir Gino , if Harry gets the leg up on constitution hill and jumps away popping hurdles in front I can see him going very close if indeed not winning this

Don’t think it stupid at all.
Every horse has its price for everyone.
If he turns up on the day he’s far shorter than that, cos will mean he’s convinced them he’s there to run a big race, and therefore Sir Gino could go Queen Mum?

A few ifs and buts, just depends if the price is worth the risk.
At 16 I can see you may well not be the only one.
Cash out is 14 I notice.

Matt Chapman has recently said on his Podcast (for what it’s worth) that “if he turns up for the race he wins”
 
Looking at Willies entries for the Irish Champion might explain a little the price adjustments on Lossie today.
Looks like she's on trial against all and sundry from his yard.

Now, just a possibility, but if TNL (in receipt of a few pounds) beats sir Gino on trials day, will there be an about face ? Will Lossiemouth head to churdle?
 

probably sums up the market moves today. Just traders getting bored.
Chambers chiming in with a teaser as per.
 
You can understand why they would push her out.
I doubt she's been popular with punters even those that quite fancy her, as why would you risk it ?
People will have been burned before.
I pulled the trigger on her in a single today though as the exchange was 15-2 for a bit
