2026 Mares Hurdle

Must have been tipped up somewhere surely? Ridiculous swing.
 
Not sure a tipster could affect the betting on this horse to that extent, you'd have to be certain that tipster knows what Ricci & Mullins have decided.
 
I'm just going with punters getting it horribly wrong.
 
If you are “in the know” then you are basically getting 5/2 about a 4/6 shot, which is pretty good value!

Somehow it just doesn’t sit well with me that such few people can control two markets

For those “in the know” they could improve their value by a related bet doubling Lossiemouth with the fav and third fav in the CH as they would probably reduce in price once any intel was released to the public
 
If you know you just lay the horse for the race you know it isn't running in, guaranteed money is better than backing related doubles & trebles for horses from stables you've no connection with.

If your truly "in the know", you know that no such decisions are made in January. You also know that these sort of market moves have taken place in the past a week or a few days before the festival started, and still turned out to be wrong 🤣

Isn’t that rather transparent nowadays to the authorities (GC) if the laying became visible due to the combined enormity if word spread etc and happened a few times ?

I wouldn't know, I just know backing horses when you could be laying them is by far the least favoured option of those who are after a profit.

Actually I’d go a stage further and say that IF you think Lossiemouth goes CH and it’s all disinformation with today’s market moves, then the play should be a double Lossiemouth 6/1 CH with Wodhooh 2/1 Mares Hurdle……the double pays 20/1 👍
 
I wonder if she's not in the entries for the Dublin meet ?
They are published in a bit aren't they ?

If it’s a few weeks or days before then you have the NRNB factor, which gives you options to hedge, although the prices will most likely be less than now

However at the moment maybe these swings give us opportunity to both ‘go in again’ on potential disinformation and also hedge against the market moves with a related double

Interesting shout. They were yesterday I thought? So some will know them by now.

You wouldn't be backing her for anything then though?

It would explain the shortening of Sir GIno and that Wodhooh hasn’t really lengthened much for the Mares

If you know Lossie was going Mares then Wodhooh maybe would be bigger?…..if you knew Lossie was a ? on health/fitness then Wodhooh stays at 7/4 maybe shortens a bit

think they are just adjusting, and probably down to related double stuff.
But also they think she's edging that way for some reason.
Far too early for that to be conclusive though.
Although I wouldn;t put it past Ricci and his mate chambers to have said something daft.
