Arkle 2019

Bet 365 taking a stance on Duc De Genievres. Still 16's NRNB.
 
Picked a bad day to be out of the office.

Fingers crossed CE picks up in the next week but I'm not hopeful.

Won't be covering with DDG as just don't think he's good enough.
 
Cilaos ruled out. A ligament issue rather than a muscle problem.

*I've been told this but struggling to find confirmation

**Unfortunately we schooled Cilaos Emery at Navan on Sunday and what we thought was a pulled muscle turned out to be a ligament problem. He won't be travelling."

This is painful.

Always at least one from the Mullins yard every year that hits the bank hard, so probably shouldn't be surprised anymore. Definitely won't stop me backing them mind :highly_amused:

It's my worst non runner for a couple of years. A sickening feeling.

Gutted. Not the best news ive come home from work to.
Was comfortably my biggest winner of the festival.
 
It’s a massive bombshell for me also! Anyone heard from Scooby? Poor guy must have been smashed hard by this news
 
That’s a big kick in the balls..... when is that quote from Faugheen? Some time after the earlier update from the stable tour?
 
Scoob will be alright have u seen some of the prices on favs he has wish I had his book at the min

It was from David Jennings of the racing post. WPM got further news on the injury this afternoon so he isn't traveling.
 
Ouch..... he’s still in the betting on 365 but no cashout....
 
Will be 1 of many. Just have to take it on the chin unfortunately.
yeah but still when it’s one of the main bets and you been keen so far out. Awful, just awful. Like you say though, gotta just take it on the chin I guess.
 
Can see Le Richebourg going off pretty short for this if the ground is anywhere near good, now CE is out.. not sure what else could really challenge him apart from Lalor & glen forsa..
 
Ante Post, we all know the risks. But if anything the cash out makes it worse, as we rush to the bet when we hear the news to see the 365 cash out operative is quicker than us. :disgust:

Onwards and upwards lads. :)
 
Hardline is the standout bet in the market as it stands 25s is too big. Klashnikov and Ornua are 16s. Expect him to be at least half the price on the day.
 
Gutted.
I honestly dont like anything else in the market. Will have to reassess things now in regards to this race.
