Arkle 2019

This was released today any news on cilaos?? Or was it just filmed a while back heard ligament but unsure now would love it if he appeared on the Tuesday

In this video he mentions real steel is due to run that day or tomorrow so that means the video was filmed on 20th or 21st of feb, which was about 2 days after we all found out on here that cilaos emery was injured.....a lot has probably happened since then so I wouldn't take too much notice of what was said in that video.

He mentions 'Real Steel running tomorrow' doesn't he? so that's be 20th Feb?!

So seems old news?
 
That’s crazy people are still backing it with the news that’s out there let’s hope they know something we don’t
 
Nope, hasn't disappeared to my knowledge (checked daily). He has however, seen approx. £2k matched since the news broke.

You sure COD? Almost certain I did a CTRL + F search on him either yesterday night or maybe Wednesday night and he wasn't there.

Could have been plenty on the lay side to get matched up too tbf, not necessarily just being backed, but some of the huge prices that were up disappeared quickly once Patrick spoke the other night.
 
Since then Patrick mulls has still come out and said "they're on tenterhooks with cilaos" so I don't think all is lost just yet.....would need to hear some positive news quick though, they'll be loading the boats pretty soon

Been there every day I have looked. Been quite far down as his odds drifted to near 3 figures, if not 3 figures at one point.
 
So that interview and the ligament story came out on the same day. I guess the interview was filmed in the morning and the ligament update came later in the day.
 
I’m knee deep into Cilaos, but looking through the field, any thoughts on Articulum?

Beat Campeador by 7.5 lengths getting 6lb. Always been rated highly.
 
DDG sea of blue on oddschcker, any reason why?....doesnt look good for the small hope I had for CE

Hugh Taylor has tipped him up.

Literally the two posts before you posted.

Am I the only person that reads this forum? :p
 
Hugh Taylor has a pretty impressive Pts record every year by the look of it... and its not a bad selection e/w in this race as it will cut up but DDG is not a winning machine...

my apologies Kev......its the football distracting me, lol
 
He's too late. 20's after the CE injury. Poor 'tipping' :devilish: :highly_amused:

Yep I followed you in at that point, looks decent value now. Incidentally proud to announce I have now backed a swashbuckling 14 runners in this race (around 75% with free bets)...Haha! That does include a handful for a very small amount of free bets. Been doing a good job of laying a few of them this last month to minimise the impact of a bad book. Will be continuing to do this with Kalshnikov (still my biggest winner) who I just can't see winning this, and like many very surprised they are sticking to the minimum trip after his effort LTO
