Any love for scarlet and dove for the mares chase? If she wins on Thursday, probably go favourite. One of my cliff horses last season.
 
Many thanks for this, I’d forgotten that incident but it does provide some clarity as the precedent has been set.
Thankfully this wasn’t a week before the festival, you have to feel for those betbright customers who were sitting on nice positions.

Thanks for the responses…

I’ve just been on Live Chat with Sport Nation.

All my Antepost singles on Jonbon and El Fabiolo plus a nice double on Allaho and Delta Work were placed with Free Bets.
I have been told that Free Bets used on voided bets will also be credited back to accounts “in due course”.

I asked if this would be before 30th November (so that I have a chance to use them) and they confirmed that they would…

I Have An Unused Free Bet/bonus In My Account, What Will Happen To It?

Any unused Free Bets, bonus funds or rewards points in your account must be redeemed before 30th November 2022, at which point they will be forfeited.
 
Yeah. This is for unused Free bets.

I have placed numerous bets with Free Bets which they will be voiding (and returning)

If I then don’t use these by 30th November. I’ll lose them.
but I fully intend to use them on something!! :welcoming:
 
David Jennings's selection (I wont spoil it) on UTA, Jesus wept. I should preface what I am about to say with I really enjoy UTA and like DJ, but he must suffer endless borderline torturous misery putting himself out there to tip horses like that. Nice guy and a great presenter, but I wouldn't trust him to tip over a bin.

Took the words out of my mouth Charlie, there's a reason his tips don't even affect the markets! but he is a solid presenter.

I may be wrong but I could have sworn DJ put Might I up on 2 occasions last series. Once for the Ballymore and perhaps once for Any race.

Or maybe I’m dreaming up something that didn’t happen

Anyone who could help?

Correct. If you've watched lots of UTA you'll know DJ is a sentimental creature who will often follow the same horse off a cliff, then out to sea, then eventually, to the sea bed.
 
What about matalan man, his co presenter?

That wasn't far off being as bad IMO. The trainer has been fairly unequivocal that Ascot then Aintree are the plan, not Cheltenham, and the owner has two perfectly suitable options for the race should Allaho not make it. Not good from them tonight, but I still enjoyed it.

I used to play a little game every week with DJ on the old racing post youtube podcast before they changed it to what a shout

He'd be on every week and I'd look through the racing and try to predict what he'd put up

The man had about 40 cliff horses horses that he'd put up every time they ran so it was pretty easy
 
is it me or has there been a price adjustment in the Betfair Chase
Rain... due. Could be on the softer side at Haydock

there has been yes, APT pushed out to 8/15, and protektorat backed into 9/4. Hopefully all is goood re APT
 
Haven't watched this week's UTA yet but is DJ reverting to type, backing GB horses to make it just more than backing an Irish horse tipping show. That's a difficult one given the Irish dominance.
 
Do you think Ferny will take up his Tingle Creek engagement or face Energumene at Cork the same weekend?

Gentleman D Mee was pencilled in for Tingle but his Weekend performance wasn’t great!
