Ballymore (Previously Neptune) Novice Hurdle 2018

Ok Corrall back to winning ways today. Likely to turn up here for JP. Still a bit off 33s around
 
One thing you get with Giggins - even if you think their choice is wrong, they do tend to be quite bloody minded about sticking to it
 
We all knew this though really, didn't we....
 
On The Blind side will challenge Samcro all way up the hill and to the finish line.
 
And then they will start their final circuit
 
And then they will start their final circuit

:highly_amused:

On The Blind Side does bring in a level of form that we have no idea about... there is a CHANCE the UK form is miles clear .... although I wouldn't like to bet on that haha
 
365 gone 1/2 Samcro, they are really testing my cash out discipline...
 
Cash out and back with pp bf if they accommodate you at the higher price.

I just did this with a Buveur D'air / Samcro double. It boosted my potential winnings by £140
 
Haven't been offered any Cash out , so I'm gonna let my 16-1 on Samcro roll .
 
Simon Rowlands covers all the novice races here... doesn't fancy Samcro.... worth a read imo.

he starts his next one (Champion hurdle) like this....

"Judged by some of the responses to my remarks about Samcro in a preview of the Cheltenham novice hurdles elsewhere on this site, not everyone appreciates the concept of dealing in evidence when considering short-priced fancies. "

Given the history of PP offering better or worse odds for a Willie horse, under the assumption they have 'connections' to the yard, what do we make of Betfair offering 4/5 (best price) on Samcro with Elliott as one of their ambassadors? Also, Betfair owner PP have drifted him out this morning too, to 8/11.

Especially when a company like Bet365 are only offering 1/2 (worst industry price).
