August Forum Yankee

I'd rather buveur dair instead of fussil raffles myself

Yeah me too. By a huge margin.

Half the price but a dual champion hurdler versus an over hyped Henderson juvenile. Peace and co all over again but with less form in the book.
 
I’m thinking Altior, Champ and Fusil Raffles are pretty well fancied of Henderson’s horses this year based on this thread and the other forum threads. I’d be very likely to have those in at this point.

Who’s the fourth horse going to be though? Santini? Birchdale? Rathhill?

Are we able to include Santini for the Hennessy? Similar to his price for the gold cup and a near certain runner.
 
Another day or two on this is needed.

So Altior and Champ are in.

But now can we vote on these please. Two from:
- Fusil Raffles (Champion Hurdle)
- Buveur D’Air (Champion Hurdle)
- Rathhill (Arkle)
- Santini (Gold Cup)
- Birchdale (RSA)

Obviously people could include it if they wanted in their own but, for this, I’d be against that. Because if Santini didn’t run in the Hennessy, we’d be a leg down without a runner 5 months before the festival.
 
Buveur D'air and Santini (Hennessey) would be my first choice.

Santini in the Gold Cup if it's Cheltenham Festival only.


Target unclear for Birchdale and Rathill and neither of them have actually done much IMO
and Fusil Raffles is not value.
 
Birchdale jlt and santini Hennessy for me
 
Can i push for the one we didnt do last year and do Sept Yankee as all Gordon Elliott?
 
I vote Birchdale and Santini meaning the final yankee, as voted for by FJ posters, for August is finally sorted. Apologies for the lack of much goings-on for this month - I’ve been sorting my new uni house out.


Forum Yankee for August:
Altior (Champion Chase)
Champ (RSA)
Birchdale (JLT)
Santini (Gold Cup)


I’ll sort the best odds and the bookmaker on the main ‘Forum Yankees’ thread
