Can you explain how 4/1 is way too big after watching that race?
Am I missing something?
Cos that looked an awful performance to me.

During this period, I think the term "Horses for courses" is key
I didnt expect F2F to win today or finish strongly. He is a 2 and a half miler that has great Cheltenham form. He's too big to retain his title in March, where most of his top has been
 
Aye, it's almost a positive he's run so poorly to be honest as it should kill any risk of Gold Cup chat 😂

Belter price now
 
I've backed fact to file for ryanair and the jukebox man for the Gold cup, would give jukebox a big chance if he went against f2f in the ryanair so hopefully they go the way I've backed them !

ok, wish you luck.
 
That’s not missing something, I know the courses are different!!
Just wanted to see if anything else.
Thanks.
I didn’t know what you were missing
Just offered the obvious one
Although I’d be sure you’re missing something is in the minority
 
What’s your thoughts?

Do you think F2F is done? Going down hill?

Do you think the Ryanair field will be weaker or stronger than the John Durkan and King George? Or is there a stand out that you would have over F2F
To be honest it’s tricky as I’m thinking there’s a few that may or may not turn up in the race, particularly after the KG today.
My point is re FTF is imo he’s not a good price now after his race today .
Each to their own though.

Twitter tipsters. Pfffffft

All crawling around for excuses and will be on their YouTube channels screaming about why their horses didn't win. Just spent 2 minutes scrolling down and all doing the same thing.

Meanwhile, your main man lands 17 winners, 6 places and a 25/1 Jukebox from 34 bets.

Blowing my own trumpet, fuck yeah :LOL: :LOL:

Anyone wanna lend a fiver?
 
Well in Yosser, now get cracking on tomorrows cards...after a few drinks, for clarity of course (y)

😂😂 2 days solid, went over all the cards 3 times. Tomorrow is a no betting day. Might have a little lump on Fastorslow but that will be it. Manchester on Sunday 🍺🍻🥃 and am going to attempt the gym and a hike tomorrow :LOL:

Nothing wrong with boasting after toasting the bookies. No one else managed it today by the sound of it. !

Some wobble that. I've watched it back a few times. He got in tight but came up from the back of the hurdle ok. The only explanation I can come up with is that he stepped into a deep hoof hole in the grass.
 
He will walk his maiden hurdle and be a very warm order for the Supreme. 6/1 is a great price for anyone not already on. What are we waiting on now? Fou De Toi and possibly Windbeneathmywings. Nothing is close to El Cairos on that viewing

My take is that 4/1 is a very good price as think he will be nearer evens or odds on, on the day. All the horses near him in the betting won't be running in the Ryanair, imo, with only the likes of Djelo, Found A Fifty, and Heartwood who might turn up, are at decent EW prices but nowhere near the level of FTF at Cheltenham and over 2.4f. 4/1 also gives me a chance to lay off for a bet to nothing.
