You've got to hand it to Hugh Taylor , banged in a 10-1 winner at pontefract today .
stupidly ., i decided not to back it , and back the fav instead . :cower:.
 
He mentioned that stay away fay will be going to punchestown

Wow. Big statement that. Nicholls only sends his very best there and they normally bring home the bacon.

He had a 20/1 winner at ponte too

Whether the 20/1 was anywhere to be seen when he posted the tip in the morning is a different matter

I did watch a video that suggested the prices he puts up are not available half the time, hes putting up bets at prices that are bigger than the exchange price at the time and simply not available at any of the sportsbook sites then they use that "imaginary" price to calculate his profit/loss

Good day for his followers nevertheless

It's a bit of a surprise to me like. With a novice hurdler who he always said was seen as a future chaser, and Nicholls is never shy of 'protecting' from a competitive festival at the best of times. Not sure what to think of it really. Don't remember him running many novice hurdles at Punchestown?

Although I barely remember last week to be fair...
 
Nicholls stringing everyone along it seems; Stay Away Fay declared for the Sefton

Bang goes that theory. Forget about him then....:welcoming:

Looks a reasonable race to be fair but think I prefer that route for him, with a view to the BANC 2024.
 
Got away with one there then... But a big shame for the race.

No comment on the financial issues or right or wrongs of the decision, as I've not done nearly enough research.

I'd imagine all bookies will refund bets and rightly so.
 
Any chance someone could request a Mares Nov Hurdle price for Dysart Enos please.
Runs in the bumper tomorrow.
Sky, Betfred, 365 if possible.
Thanks in advance…

Done 365 Ista, although since the festival has come and gone they seem to be very slow on accepting requests, I'm not sure if it's just me or not.

Istabraq - Decent price today, fancy it i take it?

I think anyone watching the replay of her Market Rasen win for the first time will be with her today, stuck 4 deep and went so wide rounding the turn that she ended up in the middle of the course losing 10+ lengths but still getting up to beat Queens Gamble who herself had hacked up in the listed bumper at the Paddy Power meeting.
Of course come March there'll be an army of Irish horses who will probably have more than this one but there's talent there
