Just having a random look at the markets and I see Alegorie de Vassy has been sneakily cut in a few places.
Still 6/1 with 365 but as low as 3/1 Hills...

Doesn't deserve that on what she's achieved......or not achieved should I say. Don't see her as the winner.

I've heard that one horse is out and therefore that would impact the market....but it is just a rumour
It's also been over a week since I heard it....
 
Assume you mean IMPERVIOUS ?

Yeah, I've heard she'll not be out first half of the season ... that's it though.... and it's not verified and I've not chased it up..... it's just a rumour. Just might be gaining some momentum if bookies are cutting other horses

I am on the same line of thinking.................
 
It's a fact that she's out for first half of the season isn't it? Hasn't Murphy said something along the lines of 'hopefully she'll be back for the second half of the season'.

Or are you suggesting there's a rumour the news has got worse since then?
 
Last week oct 26th..road to cheltenham posted on twitter

❌ Will come as no surprise to hear that IMPERVIOUS is "most likely" out for the entire season.
Back at Martinstown after suffering a front joint injury - rotten luck for trainer Colm Murphy and connections.

She is 5s with hills in their twar market. Chances are they accidentally got the two mixed up.

Cue the irrevocable error clause.

Kevloaf commented that it was the Impervious news that's affected the recent haircut, I think it was generally well known she was struggling to make March and that had been factored in to prices some way out.
365 remain unmoved at 6/1...

Lobos ADV has RPR's near 160, that's a fairly lofty level of ability that would make her competitive in G1s with the allowance which was the basis of the Impervious Ryanair bet, there won't be many heading here with those RPRs in the book....
 
Tried to place a Fez bet with Denise who suddenly wants to charge a “withholding tax” on potential winnings.

Anyone know what that’s all about?

Is this a wind up ?

Not worthy of anywhere near that rating based on what she's achieved imo. She's got an entry this week so maybe that's why she's been clipped ?
 
I see Henrietta Knight is renewing her training licence after 11 years...
