Albert Bartlett 2020

Was rushing out before, but wanted to add my thanks to charlie for initially alerting my attention to LE... not that often you back a 66/1 poke for Cheltenham (or me anyway) with a live chance!

Me too, was going to have a top up yesterday when Charlie reposted, but had gone 40s at that point with 365...will top up with a freebie tomorrow. That race worked out nicely as cashed out AD for the Ballymore (full stake) and kudos to Scooby for his thoughts on AD which restrained me from topping up with free bets. Obvs not writing that one off entirely but difficult to see much value in current price
 
Yeah, as said by many, cracking stuff Charlie :)
 
I'll be saving my thankyou's for Charlie till it's won. or placed.:)

Very wise. Kind words but I'm being praised like he's won the thing :). It's easily the hardest of the 3 novice hurdles ante post and even if LE emerges as the main Irish challenge, their record in the AB is abysmal.

It's not the fact he may or may not win at this, still very early, stage, it's that we are ahead of the market.

Of course, each to their own, as to whether they feel grateful enough for that.
 
Nice to see all the LE connections with a live one for the festival.

Yeh it's a good position to be in. He shaped like the further he goes the better so next stop DRF and hopefully he wins and get's to Cheltenham in one piece.

In other news, The Big Breakaway in entered up at Newbury over 2m4f on Wednesday. I am really looking forward to seeing him again. He did everything so effortlessly at Chepstow and I hope the Tizzards aim him here

The video which I would probably not have seen (even though I watch many).
Was extremely useful and quite rare to have it stated fairly clearly what the plans/dreams were.
The punt was on the ability of the horse. The plan seemed quite clear, and the breeding looked very good.

And whilst Scooby may be proved right with his reading of Andy Dufresne's maiden win, he thought this one might be a handicapper :)

We will all get it wrong/or it'll go wrong, more often than we get it right/it'll go right in the long term.
That's why we're fucking about on here most of the time.

I think you'll find I thought he was a graded horse set to be masquerades as a handicapper. Hence my reasoning behind backing abacadbras.

He has nowhere near wkn the bartlett yet, so nice dig.

Has anyone heard anything about Braid Blue? Finished second to Champagne Well at Cheltenham giving him 8 pounds which puts him close up to Thyme Hill on paper. Ran a lot over the summer winning nothing races but gaining plenty of experience and proving he stays 3 miles. Seems overpriced in the market at 50s.

reminds a little of Dinons in that he's been campaigned for the better ground.

Wouldn't excite me formwise and it's been something i've looked at in regards to Champagne Well + Thyme Hill.
