none so far, that's because my tips last year were dire lol

"can't back Constitution Hill on his current price, will try and get it beat".... bolts up
"Flooring Porter, poor race last year, will try and get it beat".... bolts up
"Sir Gerhard... no bet, I'm on at bigger price and dont like this rain"... bolts up
"L'homme press... no chance a french horse can win this".... bolts up
"Honeysuckle, she'll win but value gone out of the price".... bolts up
"Not keen on any of these in the Arkle, backing Blue Lord. Fav...".... bolts up​

:onthego:

So difficult to give people "Tips" when you're on at bigger prices, made a book for the race or you think the horse will win but there's nothing left of the price.
Hopefully, I can maintain this level of silence for the next 4 days lol
 
I don't suppose anyone has any pub recommendations for this week? Spending Tuesday and Friday in the Queens Arms in East Garston (fantastic pub if you're ever in the area) but could do with another one or two.... Anywhere in South Oxfordshire or West Berkshire would do!...
 
I havent actually had any yet surprisingly! Although someone did send me some special with 3 hotpots to win and ask me what I thought (suppose that is asking for tips in a way) not to aftertime, but I'm sure plenty on here on similar if not better anyway, thanks to our FJ community, but for all the horses i have them at singles ante post I'm on same price if not bigger never mind for them all to win for what they are asking me is it good, so how do you answer that?
 
Jeez, today is absolutely flying by!
 
Lads who’s strategy was shared months back about backing all those at big odds in the handicap just before the off on the exchange?

Pretty sure the maths added up when everyone looked back over the SP from the past few years.

Anyway I forget who it was but interested to here are they playing the strategy this year

Not sure if any of you have had a dabble with the tote fantasy league, but it looks a bit of fun over the festival. Basically plays similar to things like football fantasy and draft kings where you'll be given a budget to build a stable each day, you can select one horse as your captain that earns double points and a stewards card for one horse that advances the placing of that horse by one.

I've created a league for Fat Jockey anyway if anyone wants to join. League code is 1TR0TE.

same mate, Was going to put Constitution Hill as my team captain until I realised he costs over half the bloody budget lol, so decided to chuck State Man in with the stewards bonus instead :hopelessness:
