I've had an account with them for a few months and I can't even login at the moment....
Fearing that there will be similar issues when I withdraw my millions! :glee:

It seems ok now,took me a while but business done.
 
Part of me can't stand this weather or the likely ground conditions, the other part of me is wondering if this is what Lobos meant when saying 'proper Spring ground'?

All of me is delighted I'm at home with my feet up.

Going to enjoy the last minute gambles.

Last night's hardening in the market for Gaelic Warrior is contrasted with today' easing for Lossiemouth.

Has David jennings just put up his first winner on upping the ante since 1967?

Think he had gaelic in the arkle

Happy for him tbh if he has, was starting to feel sorry for him must be incredibly embarrassing doing that badly

Yep, he put him up at 10/1 Dineen on the back foot now.

Ground is OK. Slow to Heavy but nice jumping ground. No shocks. So far.

All the winners well found in the market.

I guess as has been mentioned by others, shocks would've been more likely if it was good ground as its been soft/heavy practically all season
 
The take out of the first day is how confident Paul Townsend is riding, knowing what he has under him.

I can't remember where the odds for Willie to win the UK trainers title were noted but I seem to remember him being about £2M behind PFN. By my calculations, he's won about £562k today.

….you replied to this post from me in the ‘under the radar’ thread;

‘…wondering if Champion Hurdle, GC successes plus a number of other wins next week make W Mullins competitive in the UK Trainers title, especially with the GN to come.

8-1 with PP, 14-1 with 365​‘.
 
Anyone else having problems placing bets on Skybet ? Keep getting 'error' when clicking on a selection.

Agreed, turning out to be a huge disappointment. Hopefully Cheltenham's loss turns out to be Aintree and Punchestown's gain

Jonbon, First Street and Kingston Pride out plus a warning of more to come Thu/Fri. Brutal, maybe the exchange carry on with Sir Gino was the smart money after all.
 
Ballyburn, F2F and El Fab is just too obvious isn’t it? The cynic in me feels like it is setup for the bookies to get one of these beat but on paper I just can’t see it

Fact to file looks to have the most to beat

He looks very short to me

The other two surely just need to jump round if they run to form.
 
Because I’m a bit of an idiot we just decided to have a overs/unders bet walking to the course on how many times we’d be asked if we needed tickets - buy or sell. Set the line at 10.5 and was asked a staggering 17 times. Such degenerates haha
