Anyone know if Betfred have been the daily boosts in shops this year? Used to always boost a few horses around 10.30 and then again around 12ish
 
I know the owner is on the forum, Chosen Comrade running tomorrow in the Mares Novice?
Any word or any chance?

….this what he said when I told him she was 66-1 with Hills (she’s now a general 80-1, he won’t be happy):


‘‘Absolutely insulting price. I honestly do not understand it. She is working better than ever, and Sam Ewing won't have out of the places on ground she will enjoy.She scoped perfectly this morning. If we hadn't run at Punchestown (on ground far too heavy) she would be 20's or less. We're not going for a day out.’

In that case it would be rude not to have a dabble EW

Surely today is the day of favs?
Bambino fever - sure thing according to the preview shows
Wodhooh - course form and Gordon desperate for a win
Fact to file - the obvious class act in the race although has to dispel the 1 good race 1 stink myth
 
Not that it affects anything now but notice there is a non-runner in the Kim Muir, a few hours too late for J’Arrive D’Lest.

It’s an obvious win treble for some I imagine
If I do it, one is bound to get beat!!

Is anyone offering odds on the trainers championship?

Last couple of years I've backed Mullins mid festival
 
Trainer said weeks ago that ideally the ground would he soft and he'd go for the jack richards. And if it was bottomless he could go for the arkle, and if good he could go brown advisory.

Last week it was looking like the festival was going to be ran on good ground, and what's the one race he didn't confirm him for? The brown advisory of course 😂

Gets what he deserves for his stupidity.
 
Given that @Eggs does invaluable work keeping on top of the forum for the good of others, he now has full moderator rights :cool:

Cheltenham is going on AND a promotion, what a day to be alive :ROFLMAO:




**Promotion is a bit strong - additional responsibility for no reward that you haven't asked for ..... but still :love:
