Oh eck. Put him in a couple of luckys with Andy du Fresne last night! Are you thinking Ballymore or not at all?
 
Wasn’t sure which thread to put this in
I live a few miles from leopardstown
Freezing conditions here now,forecast right up to Sunday
Has to be some doubt for the Dublin racing festival
 
I’m flying over from Essex, had this trip planned since last year after having to give up my tickets... I hope it isn’t called off and also the ground doesn’t effect entries

Followed suit on that. Can actually get a bigger price with a boost if he is entered.

Just updated my portfolio for the festival, what with the novice entries being due out tomorrow.

Sitting @ a loss of 67.85pts (this includes cash outs, of both positive and negative effects) before the festival starts, about 8.6% of my total outlay, which I can take on the chin.

I was, and still am hoping to get to the festival with a pre-loss (collateral damage of ante post betting) of less than 12-15%, so all being well I can remain under this, with not so long to go now.

My biggest single losses so far are Draconien & Never Adapt, both backed in the 'any race' market with WH and it serves me right for not using 365 in their race specific markets.

As a total though the one horse that has been loss, through multiples etc... has been Getabird, managed to cash majority of JLT bets out but the Arkle ones were a hit, other than that it just has been bits and pieces that ultimately add up to one larger amount.
 
just been going though skybets request a bets and had a bit on Colin Tizzard to have 3 or more winners at 16/1

I know this topic has been raised before, but if you’re betting 20pts in a race, surely your points system is wrong? That is a huge variance in £ stake. I get there are professional punters on this board, but surely you just divide your standard point by 4 to bring some perspective? Unless you’ve taken a gigantic position on PDO. Fair play, if so, but somewhat high risk, no? From a bookie’s perspectives, won’t that risk your account if he wins?
 
Is anyone able to share a link to the full-list of Novice Hurdle Entries?
