Don't really want to put this in the Out For The Season thread because of the trepidation of opening it when somebody posts in there and also am looking for confirmation but it sounds like Lady Vega Allen has suffered a career ending injury and is going to be used for breeding as per Willie Stable Tour

….only 16-1 Mares Hurdle, it’s a good heads-up for anybody looking to back her. Hopefully confirmed soon.

"Lady Vega Allen unfortunately met with a setback and goes to the breeding stock sales" is the quote. Just re-watched it. Something i do a lot, i even download them to mp3 and listen to them when i am out walking to make sure i get every single snippet. Now where did i put my anorak

I also found it amusing that he talked about Lecky Watson about the Gold Cup until someone told him he had a mark of 159 and then the cogs started turning and Grand National talk entered his head :D

Footie roll up onto Lossiemouth - Mares Hurdle.
England are missing their talisman and skipper Harry Kane tonight.
They played well last time out but before that they were pretty poor.
Wales are bang average but with England missing their key man and Wales Manager Craig Bellamy promising to have a go, I thought a few quid at 11/1 Wales win rolling onto the special grey mare in the Mares Hurdle wasn't the daftest poke.
Wakes will probably, likely lose but In a 3 runner race, it's worth a gentle poke.

Completely agree. You just know they'll give him just a couple of easy warm ups and then go to Aintree. Be silly not to with his rating as IMO he'll fall short of GC class.

….40-1 available with cash-out for GN. As somebody who followed @nortonscoin200 in with that 100-1 BANC, I’ve had to have a little interest in that.

A note on Kawaboomga, Tony Mullins was saying on ATR jumps preview it was a serious injury he had, kids were making a racket, but think he said not tendon related, will need to listen back.

Edit - yes serious injury but doesn’t think it was tendon or ligament related. He still seems to hold the horse is huge regard so will interesting where they aim him this year! One you couldn’t back until knowing his wellbeing imo.

At this stage then there has to be a strong chance he winds up in a handicap. Can't be handicapped too high on the back of a maiden win even though it's strong form lines. A run to get it fit in a graded race and its qualified for Cheltenham having had three runs already over hurdles.

Skybet - can’t seem to find the request a bet page in there any more ?

It may be that it was done away with after Cheltenham 25…? Or just not part of the new set up on Sky (still struggle to get used to the layout since the rejig on there )
 
Sat watching the gee gee's today whilst reading OJA.
I'm quite taken with the write up on LORD DES BORDES.
Spent a year at Willie's settling in, Joe Donnolly owned, I've had a few bob on at 33/1 for the Supreme and doubled him up with a few more fancies at the Fest.
Anybody else on him or have any info ?
Sorry if I've missed any chat on him.
 
Can someone try and get on the site by clicking Cheltenham Festival (not the Cheltenham Festival 2025)when the diff parts of the site 1st come up as when i do it takes me to a porn site :eek:
 
Didnt get my free bet with paddys reward club this week. Chased them and been told my account is restricted. Asked since when and they wouldnt say,just that it was a traders decision. Said it didnt tell me when placing 5 x £5 bets last week and got offered 5 free spins on a game! Utter bollox!
