Yep. Sound advice. Which Bookmakers provide To Win Any Race option ? I bet with b365 and Betfair. I'm obviously missing out. Every day is a school day on here !

Sky and Hills, Hills tend to have better prices on them though

Saturday morning. Bit of time on my hands. Thought it would be a good idea to run a full check on my Ante Post status for 2024. Overall quite happy. BUT. And this is a bit BUT. Why o Why do I blow so much of my money on both the Ballymore and Turners every year !! 100% of my Non Runners are in these two races. Mugs Away. Never again ! I am going to leave these two races well alone for 2025 and that's a promise to myself, my wife, my children and all FJ's. :watermelon::watermelon::watermelon:

Im exactly the same with the ballymore, every year I say the same thing……then completely ignore it!
 
So cold here in Fairyhouse today, but we've been very fortunate to have milder frosts these last 2 nights and that's meant we go ahead while UK tracks, except for Newbury (great idea with those covers) have bared the brunt of this cold spell. Really is interesting that in most instances, the UK is getting worser weather than us here. We dodged a bullet. Probably my favourite Irish racing day today.

I have a feeling that some of willies might need a run
getting beat first time up and drifting a few points. May now be a bit of value. Per :02.47-tranquillity:haps a Willie beaten Yankee?

That was an interesting bookie reaction to Ashroe Diamond's performance this afternoon in the Mares Hurdle market - 365 pushed her out to 8/1 from 7/1, whereas most of the other bookies shortened, including Paddy Power / Betfair going from 6/1 to 7/2, so quite a difference in the assessments there. Compared to Teahupoo and IEP she probably ran to her rating or possibly slightly better given that she seemed to be eased after the last, so might get raised slightly from 140? It wouldn't be up to Lossiemouth's 147, but you'd think that any closing of the gap would lead to the prices getting closer, unless 365 were anticipating something more?
 
I don't suppose anyone has tracked the dates of what other bookies put up the handicap markets?

I think they consider their own liability with cashout on some of them.

I have backed at 8/1 though today .... taking advantage of it

I'd have Ashroe rated higher than Lossie now and wouldn't be surprised to see her rated 150ish, no excuses from Zanahiyr or Buddy One and the way they finished together would suggest their current marks aren't far off right. Probably one race too many this early in the season for Buddy One. They should freshen him up now see what they can do off that mark in the Spring. My guess is they might struggle for a bit though.


I'm with Kev 8/1 looks a gift to me for AD in the mares

Yes, going by the two that she beat you could certainly make a case for Ashroe's mark to go up a fair bit, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect further improvement next time out either - I'll probably try and get a bit more on too if that 8/1 holds.

Work this out for me, she was beaten 13Ls and got the 7lbs.....She's 140 and Teahupoo is 160

Hasn't she ran around her mark really?

Not sure. She was well beat wasn't she? Way behind the front two and never in the race. She'd need to step up on that performance a hell of a lot to trouble the judge in March IMO.
