Arkle 2018

Iv got some some vouchers at 25s but still think at 7/1 he’s a good bet
 
No jumping concerns? I think he jumps well, but seems quite low and swift. Reminds me a little of what Bueveur D’Air looked like over fences, it’s a great asset but leaves zero margin for error when jumping a pace.

All fun and games...I'm considering having a Jonthehammer injured Mullins horse treble: Footpad (Arkle), Hollowgraphic (Bumper) and Stormy Ireland (Triumph) 165/1....only playing Jon ;)

haha love it, Hollowgraphic isn't for me or it would look a nice treble. I like Blackbow for the bumper and Apples Shakira at 16s for the Triumph but Stormy Ireland will be my saver.

Someone got the wrong Munir/Souede, and Footpad drifted :highly_amused:

Feel for connections, but personally not one I expected to be winning anyway.

That was my first thought too CoD! Unlucky anyone who had backed him...
 
Ffs.

Another big priced bet down the drain! :mad:
 
Will Jacob switch to Footpad? Can't imagine Ruby being very happy but he is retained rider?
 
Level head required this week, it won't be the last I doubt!
 
Escaped for about a week but you know something bad is always just around the corner.

Worst loser so far because it was each-way.

Shame for the race, stalker now out.
 
If I was Jacob I'd be going crazy at being retained rider and losing out to a man that hadn't ridden in 4 months. Especially haven won in him this season to counter the fact he isn't retained in Ireland

I think he counts himself lucky to be riding the horses that he does. Doubt very much he will be rocking any boats.
