Its just the day and time that fucked me,which they have no other time on that day. On top of that its gotta be done in Bath so 1.5hrs there and back.so going to write off watching me horses run. # Gutted.
 
Does anyone else think JP McManus to have 3 or more winners at Evens(WH, BV) is a decent bet? I just can't decide whether to lump on or leave alone.

Can you guys recall whether many come out the handicaps at the five day stage? Wondering when to start my in-depth look at the handicaps, but if the field sizes are going to get more manageable at the five day stage, I’ll start after that!

I think 365 only go best price on everything from 11-12 ? I know the SPs will be BOG nut these shorten during the day ?

I am sure I will get sucked into something elsewhere :welcoming:

Wasn't going to post till I had secured my people carrier, but all trains from London cancelled on the Thursday
 
*furiously cancels refund claim*
 
Having chatted to GWR, it's the National Rail strike that is already off, the TOCs will still be off, there'll be no trains
 
My TV has broken :apologetic:

On one hand this is a disaster, on the other...thank god it didn't wait a week

Just liften this straight from the not606 forum .... but worthy of conversation..... and one for Odin to whittle down the runners? :highly_amused:




"Not sure if people are aware of this stat (it's courtesy of 'The Weekender' from a few weeks back).

So far this century 170 horses have run at the Cheltenham Festival after having had their previous run over hurdles at Newbury. Of these 170 horses, who ran at the Cheltenham Festival, 169 were beaten!!!​"




and bonus points for first person to get the horse that did...... without cheating.... or you can cheat, I don't think google will help!

Crazily I have this stat wrong.

Since Cheltenham 2010, horses who's last run was a hurdle at Newbury: 6 wins from 213 runners, 35 places.

Henderson, Pipe, tizzard 1
Nicholls 3

It is 1-170 since Cheltenham 2012 though. Crazy how stats can be manipulated (or show emerging trends depending on your viewpoint)



In case anyone is wondering, no horse since 2010 had run at any of the following tracks last time out then won (0-281)
Ballinrobe, Carlisle, Cartmel, Chelmsford City, Cork, Curragh, Dundalk, Fakenham, Folkestone, Goodwood, Hereford, London Hexham, Kilbeggan, Killarney, Ludlow, Newcastle, Newmarket, Newton abbot, Perth, Roscommon, Sedgefield, southwell, Stratford, Tipperary, towcester, uttoxeter, Wolverhampton
