Arkle 2018

I never lay Scooby and I’ve got Footpad in lots of bets. Plus he more than likely will still make it anyway. If you read the clip it says he seems ok this morning.

What clip?
 
jonthehammer said:
Just some info which readers may wish to know. Footpad bled after a piece of work this morning, he seems okay but the Vet will be checking him over on Monday morning and scoping him. He worked okay, but connections are worried slightly as he has never bled before.

I’ve found this folks. No idea if true

If he went jlt wouldn't worry me what so ever. If he was out I'd be gutted.
All in all I think there's no issue and he goes arkle.
But time will tell.

We did have until I cashed out last week to free up some funds:highly_amused:

I don't mind where he turns up, as long as he turns up!
 
If nothing comes out about this bleeding then it is pure fabrication. I wouldn’t blame you Jonthehammer for passing it on, but the people who peddle such nonsense should be held to account. Useless attention seeking specimens
 
“The horse is reported fine and exercised as normal this morning”

Kev. The original I put on was a snippet (cutting or whatever you call it) from Facebook that someone reported. I copied and pasted it word for word.

I agree with that mate. If it’s not true I’d be having words with the fella who posted it.
 
Something must be behind it, I really do not care for Betfair exchange prices as that can be fixed. But for every bookie to drift him on a rumour that he could go to the JLT just doesn't ring true and they do not give money away.

I wouldn't be over worried if its a bleed as I sure that can sort that out and 4.8 on betfair was a gift..

Bookies follow the exchanges though now...
 
I wish I had got the 4.8.

Let’s hope he makes it fit and well. I was purely trying To help and explain the drift when I read that on this private Facebook group I am in which is paid for I may add. So if I’m being fed duff info I will not be renewing and actually fuming with the group owner.

Ok, I did not know that, like I said I stay away from the exchanges... its a shame a tool that BF started so people like us could bet each without the bookies fixing the prices but only to be abused by trainers, owners, stable staff & punters alike..

See above. Ok so you don’t believe what I posted. That’s cool. I’ve no problem with it. I thought it may explain the drift like.
 
Owners racing manager - “Nothing has changed. I’ve spoken to Willie today. He’s absolutely fine, no problems with the horse. There’s no reason to come change from the original plan all winter, which has been the arkle”
 
I wouldn't shot the messenger, we all hear rumours some true some not and info is king in this game..
