Just looking through some of my pre-season stabs in the dark and noticed Ksar Fatal. Must have taken a punt after his impressive bumper debut (and before he bombed at Punch in early May).

WPM listed as trainer on the RP site but pretty sure the owners moved him to Barry Connell (disagreement over race planning?).

Not seen any entries - anyone heard anything?

Not heard anything about well being, but only other thing I can add is i remember seeing Barry connell saying he was more a two and a half miler and would be aimed down the turners route. That was before eachtotheirown got stuffed and looked not good enough for the supreme but I doubt that would change anything. If he even runs this season.

He’s due to run in a maiden at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day I believe.

A lot of money for Old Park Star in the Supreme (blue on Oddschecker and over £1k wanting to back under odds on the Bex) - does anyone know whether he has been tipped up by anyone or is this a reaction to Henderson's comments yesterday about him being a 2miler?

Hendo’s comments about him being a 2m for now in the RP, almost certainly
 
Mydaddypaddy on the drift for formby, mate of mine is in a couple of chats and he’s rumoured out.

Apparently Champman mentioned it on tv, not live and folk picked up on it. Not sure if just Xmas or season.

Would explain the move for old park star too

Although with it happening at the same time as the fact to file thing, you'd wonder are these rumours coming from the same place and someone just manipulating markets for their benefit
 
Honestly what’s the point in these idiots, really, get a life.
 
Personally I can't believe Divock Origi would lie to us like that!!
 
Matt did say it in an interview with Chris Gordon on ATR. Can only assume he seen this halfwits tweet and mentioned it.
 
He's so well he did two canters,not just one,but two,it truly is silly season.
 
What with this and FTF today, it makes you wonder what money can be made with the spreading of potential disinformation (if indeed it is?). A whisper here and a whisper there and all of sudden you have market chaos…..and chaos is where traders/speculators can make money simply through this disinformation, if they know it’s disinformation or/and are involved either directly or indirectly with it

I still stand by the question, what’s the difference between inside info on horse racing and insider trading off stocks and shares (which is illegal) and why has the GC never ever looked at this, if they want to “protect the punter”, betting to be “fair and transparent” blah blah blah

As soon as something appears afoot then all markets should be suspended, so no speculators can make money from simply spreading disinformation

I have been saying it for years. Any horse that gets injured, soon as it is confirmed by a vet should be put on a public injured list with an estimate of how long it will be out for. It would go 'some' way of both parties getting a fair deal. The bookies would still get this news first of course but future bets could be halted. The bookies won't want that info public of course but they can't have everything their own way.

I would make drastic changes to the 'Rule 4' also and other rules they are allowed to enact, for example, if you have a horse each way in an 8 runner field and the favourite gets pulled then they EITHER hit you with a rule 4 or let you keep the 3 places. Why do they get to punish you twice for something nobody can control.
