Please can someone get Soir De Garde added to the Supreme market on the exchange. They’ve refused to for me but tend to cave when a couple of people request.

They tend to refuse if paddy power haven’t got them quoted so the way around it is ask paddy for a price first then get on to Betfair. That way they don’t refuse.
 
He's The One's diary goes into good detail about Gordon's open day this morning but I must say it was such an enjoyable experience. Gordon, Davy Russell, Jack Kennedy all very approachable, Keith Donohue there too as was Jamie Codd and Jordan Gainford.

What a yard, clean and presentable and evidence of a very professional outfit. Really was wonderful to see some of our equine favourites and some of our human ones as well!!

In these troubling times for racing, we really need to be seeing more of these type of opportunities, opening up the sport and it's high profile participants, for all to see. What a really great idea. Let's see more of this.
 
Irish point could be a very interesting contender in the stayers given his age and the amount of improvement he will be open to

I'm near sure I done it last year, and think others have mentioned it on this forum, the sky to win/place any race, is there a certain time of the year they let you stick them in multiples or roll ups? (Currently not letting me do it)

To win any race works in multiples for me but not the place market

It can be temperamental with different horses in the same market as well as different markets. I remember trying desperately to get Vauban (triumph) 4/1 to place and Gerri colombe (Bartlett) 6/1 to place in roll ups/multiples and it just wasn't having it a few years back. Other horses in the same races were fine so that was quite annoying and the situation really didn't rectify itself so if you can't do it now I wouldn't hold out too much hope of doing it in the future unfortunately

They spend hundreds of thousands on their stupid adverts letting us know how great they are and how caring whilst treating us like idiots.
 
Interesting they’re leaving him over hurdlers
same Teahupoo is in the same sliks though, makes it hard to say if they’ll step up to 3

one to watch

Maybe Irish Point will be kept away from Cheltenham with Gordon saying there’s plenty of 2.5 mile races for him and Teahupoo is definitely targeting the Stayers

In to 5/1 now and 10/11 to place.

Early risers getting some! I'm guessing with it being a Saturday when the news broke and last night posted on here most didn't see it, as surprised how long it lasted! I hope plenty on here took advantage.

Thanks for posting, that's another nail in the coffin for ante post betting. :grumpy:

Like many do I imagine, each year I have a go at a few speculative high paying combos and I've now put a note on my file that they won't be with PP or betfair. Daft really as they won't now collect my annual few points that go adrift! :hopelessness:

Wow, that is horrific, industry well and truly gone....
 
Does anybody else have all bets involving Vauban for MC greyed out for cash out with 365 ? I notice he's gone back out to 6/1 with them,
