Do any allow these to be placed in multis and does anyone know if these can be done in shop ?

I looked at WH online and shop pre and post Chelt, prices were always shorter in the shop and some horses weren't available post in the shop but priced up online.

I Don't know if it will be the Same this year Istabraq , But Coral's , allowed one Any race in a Multi last year.
 
OK thanks Gents.

Just had my first mug trix:
Buveur D’Air 7/1
Altior 3/1
Santini 12/1
 
The amount of ground made up by POLITOLOGUE this year on ALTIOR, compared to last year, is worrying for me.

Looks good, one I would be slightly against if I had to say one, would be BUVEUR D'AIR.

Had he not fell, I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have won. 8/1 is an absolute huge price in my eyes and the bet of the 2020 festival at current prices.

BUVEUR D'AIR beat MELON a nk last year. ESPOIR D'ALLEN beat that one 15 lengths this year.

Just saying not for me..

I always found the prices on the sports terminals in shop to be the same as online for antepost stuff in Hills. Glad to see the any race market loaded already, sure we can think of a few we want requesting on there!
Saw a mention of Pic D’Orphy earlier, just wonder if he’s going to be difficult to place until he goes chasing

I would say there is no way Buveur D'air goes off shorter than Espoir D'allen at next years festival.

6/1 for Espoir D'allen is a better bet than Buveur D'old at 8/1

There is no way, Buveur D'air is a good enough horse two regain a Champion Hurdle to become a 3 time winner. It sounds far too ridiculous.

Especially at single figures.


Dual winner Espoir D'allen, to follow on the very impressive list of 5 year olds who go on to win it again.... more like it.

But neither would have me parting with my 'hard-earned'.
 
Santini at 14/1

What planet are we living on here?



Santini got beaten in the Albert Bartlett, and beaten in the RSA... beaten in the Kauto Star?



The amount of love for Santini in mind boggling.


For starters, Topofthegame has now beaten him twice... I don't see why that form is getting turned around? Santini wasn't closing on him in the RSA.

If Henderson hadn't been so vocal about this horse PRE Cheltenham LAST YEAR, there is NO WAY he's a sub 20/1 shot.


Nicholls is also a better trainer of staying chasers too. 10/1 versus the 14/1 - neither are that exciting right now... but I'd take Topofthegame.

I was using the counter screen - have to steel myself and check the terminal. It's right next to the lunatics on the roulette machines in my local so I never go near it:)

Playing devils advocate for a second, you could say the extra 2f would suit Santini. You could also say he finished a neck down on TOTG at Cheltenham with a terrible prep.

You could....and I'm not disagreeing. I'm not saying I don't thni kSantini COULD reverse the form, but TOTG holds him on everything I've seen, so one is 10/1 and one is 14/1.... but its 14/1 --- 12 months away...

You can get 14/1 for Santini to win the Hennessy.

If he's got a prayer of winning the Gold Cup, he wins the Hennessy?

I wouldn’t back either of them in all honesty.

I was just adding to the discussion.

Absolutely.

I fear starting this thread too early has got people parting with their cash too early.



Anything sub 20/1 is a bit bananas for me at the moment.

You might well be on a poor bet by the end of Aintree.

I'm taking the view that the RSA 1-2 will be the most likely winner of the Gold Cup next season.

The 10/1 TOTG is very fair, as is Santini 14/1. The prep for Santini was horrendous and I think he'd have won over an extra 2f, or with a trouble free prep.
