Ruby didn't cover himself in glory on RTC this week.
His apparent disdain for the 2 young lads seemed obvious. Hopefully some other reason for his behaviour but he came across as rude.

Like he felt it was beneath him

I'd be surprised if josh and Andrew don't take Lydia and Ruby's job on road to Cheltenham in a few years time

Perhaps he was annoyed he couldn't bore us all to death talking about jumping envelopes all episode

Now watched it

Don't see what the fuss is .... .he's like that with Dave Nevison on RTv, or PP in any of their bits



Absolute storm in a tea cup from Quevega - I expect better



Those 2 young guns may well go on to host things on RTV, and good luck to them..... Nick Luck is incredible at what he does, Lydia is fantastic at what she does but that's still nowhere near what Ruby does at his craft and the insight is a level above.

Yeah, I know he's very good at what he does, and he's a snarky sullen bugger at times, both are brilliant traits in my book :encouragement:.
But when the nieces and nephews come round at Christmas you make an effort and wear the fucking hat for an hour.

Just a general issue as there's nowhere else specifically to say this.

I know plans can change due to injuries, and the likes of Mullins does have many cards in his pack, but I still think it pays to listen to trainer comments. More often than not they stick to them.

Irish Point to Aintree, Jetara to Fairyhouse and perhaps Impair Eye Passe to Aintree although that last one isn't that clear yet. Works for me anyhow.

I thought fair play to Ruby. He gave them the usual Ruby treatment. Wasn’t going to mollycoddle them and challenged unsubstantiated views. He certainly wasn’t as disdainful to them as he is to David Jennings or the Timeform lads!

Josh has bragged about having been given the inside track on something by Ruby previously on LTR (can’t recall what) so Ruby’s clearly okay with them.

First Premier race day at Cheltenham New Years Day !

And no fuckers bothered to turn up. And if the ground worsens it may get even more sparse.
The handicap entries are terrible.
Somethings gone wrong.

Yep, bloody awful turn out.

So Yesterday I decided to go through all my antepost bets and reevaluate if I wanted to keep certain bets or just reduce the stakes with a partial cash out. Safe to say that couldn’t have worked out any worse as this morning I got a very polite email from 365 saying they have removed all cash outs from Horse related bets. Thankfully no restrictions have been put in place, so can still put on life changing Yankees or lump on fancied horses. But no more getting excited seeing big profit cash outs or being able to react to any injuries will be annoying.

Damn You 365! :ambivalence:

I was the same, 365 informed me with the same message they had removed my cash out facility on horse racing the other day over Xmas. It’s like they are doing a cull atm with accounts.

It’s screwed me over a fair bit as I’m got hundreds locked away on there now which I would have been cashing out of and changing positions in races

Thanks for highlighting

This will come as a BIG shake up for a lot of our ante post punters, which I am very much one of



If this becomes the norm we all have to work together to kick on



It's been too easy for too many years and I know we have enough knowledge on here to still make money

Have to agree with you here Q ., Ruby was a proper Christmas Grinch on that R.T.C . show , Compared to 3-15 pm on thursday .
after his old man won the pertemps qualifier at Leopardstown . Happy as larry then and couldn't shut him up !! . ( who is Larry anyway ) :boxing: .

Hills have priced the Tramore savilles up and I think they have it wrong.
11-4 Classic Getaway seems big enough.

Thought he'd be outright fav. Bronn...da f***?

Have you given any consideration to his GC price? Aside from the front two very windy market, 50s not the worst for the fragile beast.

He's been triple figures on exchange for a short while, and only got shorter after this declaration.
I backed at 45's after he won a decent race easy on reappearance and also on the exchange at bigger, I've since laid off the stakes, but I agree, he's a lively outsider. But only that really as I don't like his breeding, but I think he's a likely Gold cup runner given connections, assuming he runs well tomorrow of course.

 

[Benjy23]

Also thought he'd be fav. Assume Danny Mullins has had the pick as well. Think he should be able to get to the front and dictate tomorrow...

I'm also slightly surprised Bob O isn't fav v Marie's Rock.

 

[Lobos]

Very surprised BO isn't fav. He'll batter MR imo.

Hi Mods, that thing is happening whereby a member has posted on a thread, in this case it's the novice chasers thread, but it hasn't updated for people to see there is a new post waiting to be read.

Just highlighting now in case it starts to impact other threads too.

:encouragement:

 

[Quevega]

She was 8-1 but 5-1 La Marquise looks a big price for tomorrows junior bumper

edit - apologies 3-1 now - not so good.

 

[Guinness Village]

Mentioned the willies beaten Yankee in the Yankee thread, buts it’s working out quite well. Just added Mirazur west for supreme and might stick in Tullyhill too.
should’ve probably put in diary thread, but fairly useless at keeping up to date

Ethical Diamond has to go in that one now after Willie's comments.
