43 pts are now Non Runners after Finian's Oscars "performance" today.
 
10% of non runners isn't bad Kev, I've had years when my non runners have totaled 40%. Long way to go though

Haha very long way to go!

16% non runners 2017
25% non runners 2016

Finian's Oscar was my biggest 'risk' bet that I made which I made no secret of....but I know a few followed me in so just making sure trhey know I've been hit quite hard by being wrong so they shouldn't feel worse than I do :D haha
 
A few weeks ago I availed myself of the generous prices offers by WH in an e/w Yankee;
Politologue ChChase @ 12/1
Sceau Royal Arkle @ 25/1
Min Ryanair @ 10/1
Ballyandy JLT @ 33/1
So getting all excited after today, I know Min might go for the ChChase but has anyone heard where Ballyandy is going next?

That is looking lovely Unhomme. Not heard but I'd be fully expecting the JLT to be the target
 
Also on that blog.... bad news for any Pym fans..... he's compared the horse to Jenkins :highly_amused:


Jenkins once again got backed in today from 7s to 9/2 for another impressive 7th place

Haha, it is actually putting me off Pym when he does make it out!

Jenkins is like the polar opposite of a horse that rises up and keeps defying a handicap mark (like Hunt Ball or UNWIMH) .... he just is getting worse and worse haha
 
Haha very long way to go!

On that note....365 are 1/4 the odds and best price on these 4...

Footpad (Arkle)
Cause of Causes (XC)
Hollowgraphic (Bumper)
Willoughby Court (JLT)

9827/1 (had an E/W lucky 15)

Footpad - I've just mentioned in the Arkle thread ***Not that he is under the radar haha
CoC - IS still over-priced
Hollowgraphic - Debut tomorrow and am putting my faith in not only his form last year but the fact PP are already 14/1 but 25/1 here
Willoughby Court - Knew I was going to be each way and think WC will not have 3 pass him after the last in the JLT...

More of that cross country.
20/1.
Jocked up with barry geraghty on board.
Massive weight on Friday. But at level weights at the festival would really interest me.

Lads give us a few at decent odds to chuck in an each way Yankee.. Xmas is when the horses show their hand and you'll know who's going to be competitive in march.. unfortunately so do the bookmakers and the market normally forms itself.. I fancy steeling a bit of value and enjoying my Xmas dinner

703/1 on last year's JLT to be incredible as Archie highlighted it could well be

Politilogue CC
Top Notch Ryanair
Yorkhill Gold Cup

503/1 with sky ... I'd put my "free" fiver on that this week haha
 
Using the Land Rover Goffs form.... Vision Des Flos Supreme / Hollowgraphic Bumper 373/1

Might look big if VDF does impress over 2m next time out?

Haven't backed this.

You can get well over 150.0 for vision des flos on his own
 
Haha, I know, I think I have some at 130.0

but there is no fun in that :p

Hollowgraphic price gone now. But got him with act of valour 40s stormy ireland 50s and style de garde 40s for the triumph in some doubles on overpriced ones.
 
Gigginstown Novice Hurdlers treble - Mengli / Samcro / Cracking Smart 311/1.
