There may have been less high profile casualties to date (though this time is key when going through final pieces of work) but defo more high profile flops this year. The book has taken a few hits on these for sure.
 
Re: high profile casualty for ante post backers

I had Sir Gino back at the start of the season for the CH, got a nice price on the exchanges. More annoy that I won’t get to see Sir Gino run on the day and fulfill his potential than my antepost position, and even more annoyed that i now had to try and pick a winner in a race where I don’t fancy any of them! At least Sir Gino is still alive

Air of Entitlement was another on, back at 50/1. Was hoping to see way more than what we did, ended up being pulled out entirely

F2F, I have in several 3-4 folds which are looking strong. But all those could be in the bin if he goes GC

For me, I DO NOT want to be seeing a big red X posted on social media with Lulamba’s name next to it. Backed at 12’s as soon as Kopek crossed the line in the supreme (I wasn’t all that impressive with kopek despite him being a winner for me on the day). Backed again before his win in Ireland and again in the summer. I just want to see whether I was right or wrong about him and Kopek - I need answers lol, the worse thing to happen will be either or both don’t turn up

Otherwise, it’s not been too bad so far this season. Fingers crossed
