Hats off to Hendo on sky just then. Telling everyone to sign the petition. Would be great if all the leading trainers publicly got behind this.

​Mark Mackay has started posting again. I really like his no-nonsense approach, straight and honest.

Anyone got a fancy price about Vauban on here?

Yeah back at the start of April with Denise. They were a clear standout price at the time, if I remember right most bookies had him around the 33/1 mark.

Also got absurde at 40/1 immediately after his ebor win due to me taking inspiration from Saxon Warrior and paying more attention to win and your in races, with the ebor win guaranteeing him a run.

Very pleased with myself for getting those two from my only two bets on the race, which will make it all the more gutting when inevitably one is murdered against the rail and the other just fails to get up by a short head :biggrin-new:

How many have you had though that have ended up as strong a fav as Vauban when you've backed them at 200's and downwards??

It’s been known a long while Vaubans plan, not a stretch he ended up as fav.
Everyone is any bit of know there is on at massive prices.
 
At least you got the value :nonchalance:
 
Genuinely gutted for all FJ's who were on Vauban at great prices. Half the game is getting on the right horse at the right time for the right race. You all did a great job there as punters. The rest is down the horse and the team supporting and that race seems very tough for UK&I horses. Could be the travel, the weather or the handicapping but whatever it is it appears tough to go there and win.

Part of the prep for the race is for all international horses to be knocked out for a full body scan to be done, I can't help thinking that has to be a factor.
I think it happened about 3 weeks ago for Vauban but nonetheless it still isn't a nice experience to go through immediately on arrival after 24 hours in the sky....
