Now, as a collective we probably get a few freebies. Tickets etc. for example members can request 2 free guest badges for trials day. If there was any desire, we could distribute these between members. Free badges for ROA members etc. just a thought. It’s terrible to see it go to waste.
Any traction on this?
I had a few spares for paddy power 2024 that I shared on here.
 
….major entries day next Tues, novice chases and novice hurdles.
 
Caught in a hilarious Sisyphean loop with William Hill.

I moved and updated my address, so it won't let me log in until I upload my passport again. However you can only upload your documents using the live chat, which you can only access by logging in, which I can not do. I emailed them, and they replied saying email is only about the shops. For my online account I have to use....live chat...which drum roll...I can't do!

Shame they're so often best price cos I'm probably just gonna jack them in

Cromwell's having a shocker right now, overall season below par but recent form terrible.
If he gets them back in time for spring then he'll have some well handicapped horses.
 
Ole Ole for one, I hear they got Gillane recently too, was runner up behind Charismatic Kid who Elliot picked up for 300k at the Cheltenham December sales.
 
I've not many of his covered, but I still want them competitive in march, interesting couple of weeks ahead, if he does have them back to near full fitness the DRF will be a long 48hrs for Gordon.
 
Surely racing is going (Or has gone) to 'Hell in an handcart'. Odds-on shots galore in NH races in midweek. Even the 'Saturday prices' are becoming more & more ridiculous!! Although looking forward to the festival- I'm dreading the prices on offer.

When interviewed before Xmas about his horses poor performance he said something like ‘his horses won a lot of good handicaps last year and as a result he now had a lot of badly handicapped horses’ !🤔

Even if having some validity then this doesn’t explain his graded horses woeful performances though does it?

I was early season thinking that My Mate Mosie would be one to watch for 2m handicaps and potentially the GA at the festival. Today on oddschecker early doors there was a sea of blue for him into 16/1, however he drifted on course and ran a shocker, right out the back

Clearly something is amiss and when the form returns, then as you say Q, the stable could have some horses maybe very well handicapped !
 
Hope so. I think the DRF will be illuminating and some of his once raced horses will really improve. Doctor du mesnil?? Might show up and scoot home in the 2m 6f race
Yep. He owns that meeting. People on here will be digging slip after slip out of the bin 🤣
 
I've two tickets for Festival Trials day at Cheltenham next saturday (24/1/26) if anyone would like them, just let me know then ping me an email, its'a pdf so will send it over, think you can just use your phone, if not you'll need someone to print them off for you.

Obviously I want nowt for them, they cost me nothing :)

Tickets have found a new home.
