On Gavins L. new show has anyone else tuned in? Personally I’ve been really enjoying the Cheltenham preview shows with the odds compiler fella. It’s a refreshing angle to hear both sides of a bet.

Miles better info and nuggets relayed compared to upping the ante, chalk and cheese I suppose.

I signed up more so to hear Gavins race reviews and race planning for Chelt more than the antepost selections; as majority of selections are well covered already at bigger prices courtesy of the early season discussions on FJ.

Have split the cost between a buddy of mine, some may see it as bad value but for less than a quid per video all the way to festival I don’t mind it all. (Compared to the price of some other Chelt services such as the one advertised here on FJ.. 500 quid.. must be mad)

I have put it in the same category as the likes of Netflix or tv subscriptions. An entertainment expensive.

He collapses Cheltenham prices on a weekly basis, every Tuesday, doesn't he?

Seams too have an effect alright, to be fair nothing out of left field. Something wins impressively at the weekend it will usually be highlighted the follow episode. He’s not tipping anything that isn’t being tipped on every other show podcast column etc.

I say his ante-post selection piece (usually one per) makes up less than 2-5% of content per episode.

Yea + the horses to note agenda he used to do for uping the ante is a lot more in depth. Usually those who haven’t won first time out and handicap plots etc they are usually his biggest odds winners.

Has a piece out this week on how he analyses sectionals/ race pace which am looking forward to.

Anyone know when train tickets will go on sale? Been a few years since I've needed the train and last time I got rinsed booking too late
 
I believe it’s three months before you can do it. Had a note in my diary to do it at end of December, but ended up booking first week in January with no problem.

12 weeks prior.
Although certain routes are available before this through trainline.

And you'll get rinsed anyway, as they're all dirty b*stards.

nice, my league started out like that but for the various medical colleges of Imperial. But now it's just a beginners level league (though I'm pretty sure one team have a player who went to Q school, which is a bit naughty). Thankfully we're now only the second worst team in the league (we started in 2019, stopped for covid and came back this year so we're noobs for league play), but really enjoy it

You'll have a problem booking any Train Tickets in advance at the moment Robith . With the Rail Strikes in place .
They won't let you book any return dates , because they don't know if there will be any services available . Sooner the strikes are sorted the better.
 
Can someone tell me where I can find the recently registered horses in Ireland? I recall a few months ago someone on here posted a link to a report from a body in Ireland which is published weekly with new registrations.
