What was Shishkin’s Arkle SP, I have it stuck in my head he was silly short…
 
Hendo seems to be hitting form just in time for Cheltenham. 8 winners from last 18 runners
 
Upping The Ante Boys interviewing Paul Nicholls this weekend. Will be on RP YouTube. This could be comedy gold.
 
Have searched high and wide for the answer to this but can't seem to find anything conclusive, maybe someone here can help...

Does anyone know the shortest priced horse to get beat at the Festival? I know Defi du Seuil had an SP of 2/5 when he was fourth in the Champion Chase but perhaps there's another who went off even shorter..

Did anyone tip Politilogue that year at 25/1?
























and before you bother, tip is a strong word for 'hedge NRNB' :applouse:

Yep, my nephew is a conductor and said they will be massively affected.

Planned for 16th and also 18th for anyone returning on the Saturday.
 
Anyone know when hills refund NRNB bets? Got between waters backed and just wondered, I went on live chat and they told me the bet has lost because it’s antepost, which it isn’t as I placed on the 3rd of Jan, then tried messaging them on Twitter and they said entries aren’t yet out for that race (they are) and they will be settling bets after the race.

Not sure how they manage to employ people who know fuck all about betting.

…Tom Scudamore has announced his immediate retirement, I doubt it’s to give him more time to watch his beloved Everton.

I wish him well.

Horses have to have wind ops and headgear declared in the interest of transparency and possible improvement in performance. On this basis, does the fat jockey forum feel that female jockeys ought to declare a possible change in their performance related to their cycle? Perhaps a red blob on the racecard?
taken in an unbiased and totally tounge in cheek non misogynistic way of course:excitement::excitement:
